This is a positive trend. Games aren't the only thing that are produced as shovelware many phone apps are like this too.
What's really at play behind 'early access' is a lack of a proper production budget that floods a market with substandard products. Knock offs of popular apps and games just for the purposes of fleecing uninformed consumers. Valve called it early access, in app stores on phones we have no such warning.

In recent years I have found that pushing to 4K is not really worth what it was cracked up to be. 8K is just too much and unnecessary. At a certain point we do hit diminishing returns in resolutions.
