Look at the reviews for KSP2. This is not even one of the larger problems with the game. They released into EA with terrible, nearly unplayable performance... on an RTX 4090! a $1600-2000 GPU that at the time was difficult to obtain even if you had the cash.

More saliently they did all that but also set a full retail price on the EA game as well.

It gets worse because they don't consider the current $50 price to be 'full price'. They claim it's the discounted EA price and full retail would be higher.

That kind of performance is fine for a pre alpha.

Its pretty clear the dev team did not want to push it out so soon. The game was not ready for Early Access. But they apparently did, and here we are.
