Sandbox Game Poll

O Lord, let the day come when an Early Access Sandbox Survival/Zombie/thingie game be finished and released properly!
And O Lord, come unto me with all thy mercy and let me see that day!
Amen!

The Long Dark

All these games are crap including any other EA survival BS.

Imma let you finish but Minecraft is the best indie sandbox survival of all time. Despite it's fanbase.

Pretty sure DONT STARVE , is the best survival game ever created ....

The stuff you listed is all Early access yet it costs money ... i will never understand the mentality of that game model to be fair .

Back in the day if you ware forced to test the game for the devs , find glitches bugs etc ... and give feedback for it you didnt have to spend money to do so , it was the oposite ... you ware paid to do that for them .

nowadays EARLY ACCESS exists , and defs just put stuff thats sometimes not even ALPHA worthy , charge you 10-20$ for it ... and just put some minor updates ever now and then to keep the playerbase running ... and thats it.

No real release date has been announced or anything .

Like take h1z1 for example ... the game was PROMOTED as a free to play game ... yet somewhere along the road they decided hey FUCK every single one of you and all the marketing we did in the past year or so , we gona split the game in 2 and make it into 2 different games and we gona charge 20$ for each one regardless of the fact we promoted it as a free to play game with early access to let us proceed the game development using the funds gathered from it .

Worse part , people just let it go and completely ignored the fact they got shat all over ... and because it happened once and people didnt care about it ... it will keep happening . Unless we , as a consumers do something about it and stop that retarded practice while there is still a minor chance .

Lets also not forget how ARK , another early access game just released a 20$ DLC .... for a EARLY ACCESS GAME .
At least that had some reasonable shitstorm following it , for a while ... untill all the fanboys just buried it under their non existant arguments trying desperately to find a justification for their purchase .

So yeah out of the 3 games you mentioned there i vote for ... Bad rats , as an actual game that its fully released and fully functional !

The answer is whichever has the largest amount of players the same age as you are.
Although I have to add the fact that Rust isn't leading should mean it is a strange and probably not representative poll. That game has an unhealthy obsession among PC gamers.
