Meh....PUBG is an early access title....and it is fully playable. Oh, it needs some optimization, polish, and hopefully more content...but it is well worth $30 even in its current state. PU has enough cred from his mod work in the past that I'm fine supporting this one.

Funny thing is, I'd put this one up against quite a few of the fully released games folks have bought for $60.

Exactly. People that are familiar with PlayerUnknown and the Battle Royale scene will have no problem dealing with PUBG's growing pains because they know the game has a competent dev team and a strong vision, despite not being a AAA studio and going through Steam Early Access.

They've said that they have about 30-35 people on the team. AAA studios have 10 times that or more.

People want games. And in the absence of genuine games, they will listen to anyone who steps up to the steam early access. They want games. They’re so thirsty for it, they’ll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there’s no game, they’ll drink the sand.

We’ve had games who were beloved, who couldn’t find a coherent sentence with two hands and a flashlight. People don’t drink the sand because they’re thirsty. They drink it because they don’t know the difference.

Well anyone who's hobby is gaming would be annoyed that our species is so stupid it will buy unfinished games before they are even complete. How many games have been released in EA and then once the developer has the money then abandons it?

This to me stinks of first world problems. There are so many stupid things our species does that actually matter to be concerned about first than people diving in to early access games...

Anyone who cares about gaming should be rightfully annoyed about it's negative effects on games as a whole.

Dunno, I've had quite a few pleasant surprises in the last few years where games were actually a lot of fun. I'm definitely skeptical of early accesses but I've had enough that tick the "felt like it was worth the bucks" or games that have delivered despite taking their time getting there that I think it's generally a good thing.

It's got quite a following already, with quick and decisive patching/updates, so I guess we'll see. There will be mod support too.

Well seeing as Playerunknown's track record consists of creating a FREE mod of this game for Arma2 which was complete I have no doubt this will be completed as well. This isn't some new guy on the block out for a quick buck.

But the glass is half empty!!!!

Game status: Early Access.

Amount sold: Million plus.

Incentive to finish game: None.
