Early access has become a major part of indie gaming culture, allowing players to experience games as they develop. Do you enjoy being part of a game's journey from alpha to release, or do you prefer waiting for the finished product? Share experiences with early access games that either exceeded expectations or left you disappointed, and discuss the pros and cons of this development model.

I've been playing a few games that I started with during their early access phases. Was fun to experience the early days of multiple bugs and game breaking features that were being tested. It's hard to explain to other gamers that being part of an early access game can be rewarding, most simply pass it off as being unpaid QA and true it can be like that but the focus is on being part of the game in becoming better.
