There is abig difference between those two games though. With bg3 you got a limited part of a story driven game. You could never reach “endgame”. It was a horizontal demo. You get everything until a certain point.
With satisfactory the early access was the fully playable game from beginning to end. It is vertical. And since then they have just added more things. They will very likely keep doing exactly what they are doing now after the release. In one year the game will have more content than it does now and in retrospect, deciding which version in time is 1.0 is arbitrary.
BG3 will not get a 4th chapter in a year.
And games have been tested long before early access and similar models existed. Just because Bethesda can’t test their games doesn’t mean everybody else is shit too.
GM: it rolls to attack. Oh that’s a 2
Player: PFF easy
GM: for a total of 47, dealing 70 damage and you are grabbed.
GM: for its other 5 attacks …
My favourite is its reflect ability. If the players pull some meta bullshit like dropping tungsten rods from orbit the tarrasque can just play an uno reverso card and nuke the players.
