There are many developers who are choosing this option when releasing their adventures because they offer unique advantages compared to more traditional releases. In fact, the distributor Hooded Horse, which has recently participated in the great success of Manor Lords, has defended this model based on data from two of their games.
With one of his latest posts on XHooded Horse proves to be delighted with the decision to launch its games in this way: “The Early Access from Steam can be a wonderful path for video games,” the post begins. “We just released 2 games that were in early access to v1.0: Empires of the Undergrowth v1.0 has exceeded 6,300 concurrent players, while v1.0 of Workers & Resources has reached 7,500. He Early Access gave time to each game so that will be developed into a big launch“.

And everything indicates that the team will continue to rely on early access; Manor Lords has also been released on early access and it is winning numbers among strategy fans. After all, these types of projects can be formed based on community requests from almost the beginning.
