I dislike it too, but not always. It's usually dependent on how long they start in EA. If you read their "how long will this be in EA" and they say anything more than 1 year, or they make vague statements that don't give you a time scale, it's almost always a pass from me.

Genre also matters. Roguelites are great EA games since normally they just flesh out the item pool. Crypt of the Necrodancer was great in EA. Survival games tend to stay in EA forever.

You have to know what you're buying into. It's not a finished game.

When you say "survival games stay in ea forever", I don't follow. Does that mean the game is never done?
