180
Forza Horizon 6 immediately beats its predecessor's all-time Steam record with 130,000 concurrent players – and that's only counting people willing to pay $120 for early access (www.gamesradar.com)

120? For a game that will melt systems? For a game not yet done?

We have got to stop this horseshit. Early access is fine for a small team, solo dev, etc. Especially if it’s early access prices. But this?! Fuck no.

    To clarify: it’s not ‘early access’ as in an unfinished mess.

    It’s early access, because the premium edition lets you play four days earlier. The base version of the game releases monday, but if you bought the premium version with the future DLC, you got to play it on friday as an added bonus.

    But yes, agreed, ‘early access’ as in selling unfinished games needs to stop. It’s an incentive for devs to take the money and run.

    5 was pretty buggy for a few weeks when it launched

    Never experienced bugs myself with 5, but I know others did. 6 has been a perfectly smooth game for the 11 hours I’ve played it so far 👍

    I tend to be lucky that way. And I always play games on proper within-spec hardware with updated drivers and such, which does help.
