    NOW only it’s finished? When did it become normal for these companies to release half finished trash and use their paying customers as beta testers?

      “Finished” as in “no more content”, not “reached 1.0 state”.

        That’s one game that I never got into the hype train with and still haven’t got around to trying, even though it looks like it’s right up my alley. So I might be mistaken but wasn’t Minecraft originally an indie effort? I don’t like it but I can understand and appreciate giving indie devs support while they’re still working on things a lot more than paying the mega corporation for the privilege of being a beta tester.

          Yeah, it was an indie thing, but it was also one of the first huge success stories from crowdfunding/early access, too. So in typical game’s industry fashion, they copied it; but only the parts that make them more money for less effort.
