Why not? are you expecting a fully game on release? When have they ever put out something that wasn't fixed by modders?

Better yet, I'd like to see them put out more of a platform than a game with maybe a built in missions they can call "Cannon", sort of like the ARMA series does. Let the people build it, they have been anyway.

Are you telling me that it is excusable for a company engaging over 400 people over many many years in a production of a videogame to not playtest their game and make players pay for testing it?

Dude, Early Access is okay if you are an indie games company with limited resources, NOT an AAA producer with infinite budget.
