I will sometimes buy early access if its a game that I hope succeeds and does well. But I also recognize that comes with risk. I am not saying what people should do with their money, just that indies are not some magical saviour that are somehow immune to the same problems AAA studios exhibit.

Buy what you want, just recognize that nowadays no matter what you buy comes with risk greater than what it would have been in the past.
