Some of them are not "games" yet.

I really don't understand how could you play early access games. It's noy judgemental, eh, but I always see how a game in its finished state (with maybe also DLC) is a COMPLETELY different experience from Early Access. I could never, that would be impossible for me to judge/evaluate/experience a game from its Early Access state.

As always it will depend on the type of game. Usually with Early Access games there is the implicit gentleman's agreement that you will replay it once its finished and you helped shape the game during development. I have played a few early access games were the dev interacted directly with me either on twitter or on steam and implemented stuff I suggested, thats pretty cool imho.

Roguelites also evolve a lot during development and due to their repetitive and replayable nature a roguelite played in early access can give you a ton of value.

I completely understand that. If you plan to play an early access game with the intention of helping the developers and then replay it once it's finished, that makes perfect sense. However, I see people replaying an early access game multiple times and then never touching it again once it's complete. Even worse, some people label a game as 'unfinished' or 'empty' (not necessarily here) and then abandon it forever.

That's... "meh"...
