Most of the time, people love hearing that one of their favorite developers is working on a new game. But what if that studio hasn’t fully released a game that you already bought?

That’s exactly the situation Garry’s Mod and Rust developer Facepunch Studios is in now. Rust is an survival-based game available on Steam’s Early Access program. That means that you can still buy and play Rust, but it’s technically in a prerelease state. This enables Facepunch to make money on sales of a title that isn’t even officially done.
