Emberville's Release Date Delay Makes Early Access Look Almost Unnecessary

Early Access is an interesting concept, and to be fair, most people love it because it allows them to experience long-awaited games before their official release date. Sure, this means that they also have to deal with the occasional bug or missing content, but not only is this not a problem; it's also the whole point. After all, developers are trying to create an opportunity to improve their games based on feedback from the community, while players get to see their favorite projects evolve over time, so that's basically the definition of a win-win situation. However, it seems like Emberville has decided to challenge this idea.
