Leaving Early Access dilemma

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey, what's goin' on, huh? Hope youse all doin' good, capisce? Listen, I got a little situation here, a real pickle, ya know?

Got a bunch of funding options out there, but some of these wiseguys want a full release of the game, others wanna narrative piece — it's a whole circus. So here's the deal: I wanna apply to as many as I can, 'cause the publisher route that I tried for some of my concepts and ideas? Forget about it! No one's givin' me the time of day. Now, if I pull the trigger on this Early Access thing, there is a small but worthwhile chance I could keep the lights on and even get back to workin' half a day on Dough. The deadlines for these funded projects ain't so tight, so Dough's gonna get a good old facelift, you know? But I can't do that without you all givin' me the nod. I'm already dreading' the negative ratings if I go full release and new players busting my balls how this game sucks, like I want to hear or read that. And offending the current crew? Ain't even an option, my friends. So here's the question: If I bail on Early Access but keep the updates rollin', you guys good with it or what?
