It's been over 7 years since the game was announced, and after being cancelled by Riot and bought back by the original devs, against all odds it is FINALLY playable!
The game was supposed to come out in an hour but it seems the devs released it early. I'll wait and see some early gameplay but it looks like I might buy it on launch day. Feels surreal that the wait is finally over.
Exciting! Can't wait to try it out.
Love that it has Linux support.

Not true apparently it works on linux as well.

I fear that early access will kill this. Sure it will provide some money that might pay for the rest of the development, but streamers will play it now - der that it is literally work in progress in vast parts and maybe take another look once it finally releases, but the hype will be gone at the release.
"The hype will be gone argument" seems irrelevant.
This is not some live-service games.
They don't really need to be continuous growfth of fans.
Almost all games with continous growth have some predatory system.As long their business is sustainable, they can finish continue their journey even when things get dip a bit.

Let's be real, older games content is much more smaller, or if they want to update things they will sell you a second installment or something.
Except for online games.

Depending on how said shit is done, could be better than Minecrft.

And they were a lot simpler, and there was a lot less competition. Nowadays, games are everywhere and hype doesn’t last long. No hype, less sales, even though the game is great and released in the final version
for me, hype = don't buy it
I'm typically not a fan of what the masses flock too. it's usually bland, shallow and meme-esq. the more people that use a thing, the less quality is put into it I find. this goes for anything from travel destinations, to frying pans to games to restaurants.
