I already know that, but I rather play a completed version than Version 9,999.497298512!
I'm fine with a complete experience with incremental improvements along the way, or a game that feels complete, at least. I'm a big KSP fan and I started playing that back way before version 1.0, but I was having a blast with it even at the time because there was a gameplay loop there. The basics were in place and playable and while new features and parts and tweaks were added over time, it's the same core experience, just with more options of how to play it.(Also, you can mod the shit out of it to you're liking). So I don't begrudge that. It was also in EA for a couple of years, not a decade and the closest thing to monetization is a few DLC packs made available years after 1.0 to add some extras if you want those(and you can still mod most of that shit in if you don't want to bother with the DLC).
SC feels like something that's never gonna be done, it's always gonna be a core experience which is incomplete being held up by stupid shit.
