Early access didn’t seem to hurt Divinity: Original Sin 2's development, and that game is arguably the reason why Larian has the Baldur’s Gate license now.

Origins and Odyssey are amazing RPGs, but bad Assassin’s Creed games. The first time I perched on top of a base and studied the enemy patrols for my ideal take-down route, and dropped down on the first guy.....only to have him take like half damage or whatever, and alert the entire base, I knew this was no longer…

this is exactly what Resident Evil 4 looks like.
