Seems fair! Unfinished games are just that, unfinished, and just like you wouldn’t eat a chef’s meal until they were done cooking, playing a game before it’s released is just a bad idea all around.

For now, it’s very cool that a studio is showing off their work in such a raw state, so it’d be just as cool if we could all appreciate that, enjoy the footage we get to see and just…get on with our lives until the game is actually released.
