Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?

      This early access garbage is getting out of control. Kickstarter and early access is the scam du jour.

        Scam? Nearly all of the games I am MOST looking forward to have been crowd-funded. Pillars of Eternity, Torment, Wasteland 2, the Broken Age conclusion, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, I could go on! If the side effect is more unfinished games trying to get bought before there's a game there I don't care.

        It's only a scam if people are dishonest in their actions with it. Early access is, frankly, a great way for small developers to get good beta testing without having to delay delivery of their game to the point where it is obsolete, outdated, or no longer of interest.

        Hell, if you go by the patch history of a lot of recent AAA titles, early access is how things have worked out anyway. Game is released, supposedly tested, then the thousands of players find all the bugs the QA team completely missed, and a patch is released which addresses those bugs. Repeat until the publisher determines it is no longer cost-effective to continue developing patches.

        In other words, at least Early Access games are HONEST.
