Steam's Early Access program is okay, but it's been abused to hell n' back. This week's episode provides five "rules" for improving them - it's really just a thinly veiled bashing of some of the utter crap that ends up there, but we need that. Boy, do we need it.

Five Golden Rules For Steam Early Access Games (The Jimquisition)

http://www.patreon.com/jimquisition http://www.thejimquisition.com Steam's Early Access program is not the worst idea in the world. It is, however, STUFFED with some of the worst ideas in the world. Alleged developers are taking the wholesale piss out of the system, and it's really quite gauche. As always, Jim Sterling is here with common sense ways of solving the problem.

As a guy with his game up on early access, I can happily say that we don't do any of that crap (functional gameplay, original assets, Ureal Engine and no zombies).

How about Rule 6: If you've got publisher backing, you shouldn't need early access. What is the publisher actually providing? Atari (if that is their real name) should be ashamed!

I don't care what you put in your mouth (as long as it doesn't try to kill you mate), it's what comes out of it that we can't get enough of. Go hard Sterlo!
