There’s nothing wrong with buying early access games. You as a buyer just need to be happy with the current state of the game at the time of purchase.

I have no data to back this up, but I seem to find that regions at Northern latitudes tend to have higher rates of alcoholism. I think it has something to do with long winter nights and people being able to find a sense of community in a pub/bar/Ratskeller after the sun goes down at 16:00 for half the year.

The US is much further south than most of Europe AND there are large regions that are very anti-alcohol due to religious reasons.

It’s exactly what a sitcom is supposed to be. Light watching that’s generally funny. Also if you miss an episode or two here and there it’s easy enough to pick up what’s going on.

And have felt super cool and like a total loser doing both.
