If they are doing any damage, it's very minimal.
99% of people won't remember shit 11 minutes from now and will simply buy the game/any game if it looks good. They don't care who makes it, what history they have, etc.
The other .09% will buy his games even if they don't like the company but the game looks good, gets good reviews, and is actually a good game.
So he's alienated .01% of the gaming base, who cares?
Admin it, as long as they continue to release good games in the future, you guys are still going to eat that shit up.
The only winners here are the people who have decided (like myself long ago) to NEVER buy an early access game again and thus send a message to developers to finish your shit before we'll spend money on it, or we simply won't spend that money.
