True, but aren't the forums for that particular game on steam, filled with folks reporting on those very issues? So, shouldn't it simply boil down to educating yourself on the title you're considering buying Early Access for? Which...now that I think of it, is pretty much the problem with your average gamer. They educate themselves on something AFTER they buy it, and not before.
This entire issue could be simply ignored, if people perform even a modicum of due dilligence prior to purchasing anything.

but when the game is released you can look up gameplay and try out a demo or read reviews of the finished product. Even if you do some research and the game looks awesome and you decide to pay to play it early and you dont like what they are doing, then you have already spent the money. So now youre just waiting for a game you dont want to play...

You underestimate the vast amount of Steam users who record video of their gameplay experiences, additionally, if you're concerned about gameplay in an Early Access, and you can't find video of it...why would you buy into it? That makes no fiscal sense, whatsoever. If you spend the money, before you actually know you want it, isn't that your fault? I mean, how can it not? Nobody's making you buy it, it's not compulsory as a member of steam etc... This is simply transferring the blame of poor research and an inability to wait for a final product away from the buyer, onto the developer. That just seems completely bassackwards to me.
