Deadhaus Sonata Developer Says Big Publishers Are Abusing Early Access

Denis Dyack, head of Apocalypse Studios, says large publishers are abusing Early Access, the phase where players buy unfinished games. He told GamesIndustry that giant publishers release games in it for marketing rather than to build them with players. He says this skews player expectations and heavily disadvantages smaller independent developers. Apocalypse's Deadhaus Sonata entered Early Access in May.
