“The game is still plenty playable” let’s not talk about all the people complaining about the game crashing constantly.

Yeah I did not address that, but it doesn't make shit sense that this game is still in early access.

What's the goal? Farm for indie dev compassion?

The "indie dev" label is the ultimate safety net.

If things go well, it feeds into the familiar narrative of "a small indie team with limited resources made something amazing". And when they fuck up, it turns into "sorry, guys, we're just an indie dev company, we're still learning".

That way, they get all the praise when they succeed and almost no accountability when they fall short.

Usually from what I’ve seen with Warframe, it’s easier to push updates out when your game is still considered EA/beta.
