If you played Deep Rock when it first came into early access you'll know that it is very different to the game we have today. It was much more bare bones.

I say that because this game is about to enter Early Access with one key difference: it has something to be compared to.

This is something for ALL types of people to keep in mind. Those who may be quick to defend criticism that comes through should relax and allow that to happen. It will help shape the game as it moves through early access.

And those who think the game isn't in good enough shape immediately should remember that they have proven they can take feedback and evolve a game so, at least in the case of Ghost Ship Games, Early Access is not just a "free money" button, but an actual label.

It's hard to find this on Google, but I remember a period early on in the 2004-2005 era where Friends was down for a really long time, but I can't remember how long it actually was. It felt like 6 months but I'm not sure if that's correct or if that was just being young making it seem like forever.
