Worst offenders also never get out of Early Access status

Bloodstained annoys the living crap out me. Its releasing in 2018. Isnt that waaaay too long for a game like that?

I prefer thinking about games I can play now. 'Waiting' isn't a productive state of mind.

Indie games, being made by indie devs.

Devs who do not have millions upon millions let alone hundreds upon hundreds of staff on hand day and night.

Indie devs are indie devs and not AAA. I fully expect delays, it's AA devs that I hardly expect delays due to the massive budgets they consume, the amount of staff and talent they have on hand as well as the companies that back them and their marketing gigs.

But to look down upon the smaller guys who don't have as much as the AAA teams and companies, really?.

The amount of AAA games I've seen over the years, that come out buggy, broken and generally don't look as good as they are hyped up to be nor represent the entire budget, those tend to appal me more than say 1-10 man studios that toss out some cheap indie titles, mostly because the bigger guy with the bigger budget, should always, always be tossing out quality work thabn the little guy, but if the little guy can blow away the big budget work then that's just sad.

Here's a good remedy. Play other games instead of endlessly complaining about them.

Those games are made by much smaller teams and on much lower budget than AAA games.

There's your reason.

Comparing delays from such teams to delays from AAA teams is unreasonable at best.

I particularly put into question the part where you complain about kickstarter games being... shown too early... -____-

Says the guy who has made many Horizon: Zero Dawn threads...

This has always worked for me.

Bloodstained has been in development for just over a year. By a small team. And as a kickstarter project, there's no "showing it off too early". Backers have been shown progress from the very beginning.

Anyways, I'm getting a whole "entitled gamer" vibe from this thread. If you're a backer of a kickstarter project and you don't like how things are progressing, you have a right to complain (but you also have a right to look at the Kickstarter terms of service and realize that kickstarted projects aren't guaranteed either). Otherwise, it just comes off as whining. Move onto other games until those in question either release or are canceled.

It doesn't really bother me because have too many games to play already and next six months are loaded with games I want.
