Worse is if you have to pay 2x the game's price for Early Access like with Galactic Civilizations III

I'd never buy an unfinished game. That's like getting an "early access" movie where you see actors in front of green screens, no music, no special effects, just something barebones, with the script still unfinished.

I want my gaming to be a complete experience. I'll even suffer bugs provided the developers have implemented everything they wanted in the finished version.

What article is that?

The way I see it you're not really. You're paying for the game.

I think of it like a preorder except I get to mess about with pre-release builds as well.

That's quite the exception though since that includes all future DLC and expansions. There have been worse offenders I think, though those generally tended to have high prices because those were the kickstarter tiers they promised early access to.

I've no issue with GOG having an early access style system, but if they are going to have it then the games MUST have an easier mechanism for updating. Be it a GOG Early Access client of some type or the game itself has an update mechanism.

Didn't most people vote in favour of Early Access games in the survey we had or was that something else?

Yes, they did.

I personally don't want to play any early access games, but if it doesn't cause any losses for GOG, and you guys want it - go for it.

The only problem with early access games is many are abandoned.
Some early access games are going over 1 year on steam, and many have been abandoned.
(hell some have zero video options, zero controller options, zero keyboard layout options)

I'm ok if you can play a finished game early via a pre-order bonus, but other then that I don't like early access to unfinished games cause devs run away.

Then don't. I also don't understand this argument. If you don't want to pay to be a beta tester, then don't pay to be a beta tester. It's that simple. But from the dev standpoint, even if they do have paid beta testers, the more people and computer configurations that test the game before official launch, the more bugs can be found and fixed.

I'm no fan of Early Access either, and am never tempted to opt in. For one thing, I don't want to know what's going to happen in the game before I play the actual finished version. But I'm glad others are willing to beta/alpha test it. If it means even fewer bugs and issues at official launch, then great. As long as GOG finds a method to ensure people aren't going to be ripped off by a company not delivering a finished product, then I see no issue with Early Access being offered here as well.

I do think early access is kind of iffy most of the time, and I think it hurts developers too because they lose launch hype and their reputation is based entirely on their first alpha release.

That said I don't see an issue with it existing. No one makes you support it.

Which ones have been abandoned?

Note that what you mentioned doesn't make a game 'abandoned', not having good options is just that, not having good options.

Don't see the problem with Early Access as long as it is clearly marked as such.
I am enjoying my Early Access with Wasteland 2 and Divinity:OS, and I don't feel cheated one bit, but I am the type that loves finding typos and bugs in games (as long as they are not major game-breaking bugs).

If you don't like Early Access games, just wait for the release, but I like the early access games and would prefer to play them here at GOG than on Steam.

I agree with that. I would prefer it being just for Early Access as I don't want a client for my released games.
