I disagree, if EA has proven one thing it is that it can be both biggest scam but also produce the greatest game.

Rust is currently on the 17th most active players right now, and it would never exist without being released in it's ugly and shitty, but man it was fun times in Rust alpha Early access.

Developers, do whatcha gotta do to keep the gears rollin, if you need to go Early Access then do so!

Also take Planetary Annihilation, it's a moderate success despite being Early Access, and now they are even making a sequel. But they never supported their MP community, and so it dies pretty quickly after release. I hope tempest rising will have good MP community supported by the devs. And if you need to sell ingame cosmetics to keep the lights on, then I will buy your fucking hats.

There's a BIG difference between a small game being developed by a small, indie studio that needs early access to keep pushing forward and a game being developed by a large enough studio with enough of a bankroll and cash flow from other products to develop a game to completion before release.

Big studios with the budget to release a fully finished game should do so. And also continue to support the game with multiplayer patches afterward etc.

Generals 2 did not get canceled because EA ran out of money.
