What is your definition of MVP? Seems many assumes it means 'sub par product'. Sub par isn't very viable, is it? #gamedev
Yes, "functional". Of course it could be better, but that's past MVP. I see it more as a plan B threshold in case you have to release before the game is as polished as you'd like. It's a horrible situation to be in, but it's worst if it's a surprise.

Unfortunately in the age of analytics it makes some sense to release something unfinished and let the players dictate what they'd like to see more of, instead of guessing wrong. To be honest, I don't think it results in better games. It's more likely they'll be bland.

Yeah, I think early access is just as likely to just be a botched launch. Maybe your definition should be called Minimum Functional Product?

I guess that is a fairly expected answer, and an explanation for why it's such a disliked term. Would still say that state isn't very viable though.

I see your point. It could be good to test an idea before investing too much on it, but it's not enough to compete with the big dogs.
