Early Access

Well there's your problem. Why would a dev expect significant sales when the game isn't finished?

That is also true. I got burned by EA games (pun intended) before, in the sense that I didn't want to play it anymore when it released. I played it enough during the EA period, that the finished game wasn't interesting to me anymore, even though they added more stuff.

So now I'm only rarely buying a game in EA to really support the developers.
