Am I the only one that sees the flaccid wang?

Problem is when things like Kerbal Space Program 2 happen, and they release a buggy mess and charge full price for it and then abandon the project.

I feel like established publishers (Take 2, Codemasters come to mind) should be specifically excluded from the Early Access program, or perhaps price limits should be imposed on games in the program…

Windows, by contrast, was built for descendants of the Intel 8088, period.

This is not quite true. Windows NT was built to support multiple architectures from the start.
