GoG now has their own version of Early Access, and it's better

GOG.com is bringing their own version of Early Access with a more curated approach, bringing the bets of in-development gaming

GOG is making their own foray into the not-quite-so-finished games market. Following in the successful, if slightly controversial, Early Access from Steam, they're launching their own more particular service called Games in Development.

GOG, though, is taking a bit different approach by taking the time to curate each game that they're letting into their Games in Development program. This is the opposite of Steam, which essentially lets any game that applies for the right, enter into Early Access.

To help encourage people to try these new games, they have a great refund policy to go along with their new program, letting you get a full refund within 14 days, no questions asked. Before the implementation of the more lenient Steam refund policy, it was nigh impossible to even refund an incomplete game, even if you sort-of enjoyed it. And for GoG, there is no limit on how long you've played the game before you can get a refund....................

Or are you in the business? They usually spout their doomsday scenarios when consumers get more rights. Cool Face

I was thinking about the people here. And early access games wouldn't have many customers from here (and for good reason in many cases). Scammers though Laughing

Besides the fact that Steam still decides what is greenlit or not, Early Access has very specific rules and I've seen many titles been denied Early Access release @ dev forums so pretty much the same Laughing
