However, after over ten years in Early Access, the Fun Pimps, the developers behind the game, have missed a few key changes that have led to broken mechanics and features not working as intended. Now, fans are discovering new quirks that explain everything broken in the game but can never be justified, raising the question about quality control and game testing prior to release.

Players are reporting numerous issues and desire for changes to be implemented soon, a player discovered that the full version might not be what it is. One fan took to Reddit to address the fact that the game’s loading screen still reads ‘this title is Pre-Release software’.
The fact that the 7 Days to Die 1.0 version came with improved gameplay mechanics, new zombies, and more, bugs and issues are also part of it. Nevertheless, the Fun Pimps are working on fixing these daily with new updates and patches.
Unfortunately, a simple mistake like this has sparked a slew of comments on their accounts.

Another player vented out by saying that this is the Alpha 22 version of the game and that Fun Pimps are not fooling anybody and that console vendors just don’t want to feature early access games on their systems, whether it is 7 Days to Die PS5 version or Xbox.

Many fans are feeling betrayed by the Fun Pimps failure at quality control and it seems that the developer foxed their way to consoles and full release.
Nevertheless, the fan base is strong, and after 12 years in early access, 7 Days to Die continues to push updates.
Whether the Fun Pimps address this mistake in one of the upcoming patches remains to be seen. Until that happens, players will certainly continue to run their speculations and theories.
