I would like to point out that indies do indeed pull crap, just different crap. Just look at the ocean of abandoned Early Access games for one example of it.
Just pay attention to the reputation of the developer and see if you like what they make.
I will sometimes buy early access if its a game that I hope succeeds and does well. But I also recognize that comes with risk. I am not saying what people should do with their money, just that indies are not some magical saviour that are somehow immune to the same problems AAA studios exhibit.
Buy what you want, just recognize that nowadays no matter what you buy comes with risk greater than what it would have been in the past.
Depending on the project, there might not be a soundtrack to buy - especially for indie projects.
I’ve pitched in a few bucks here and there to support projects, with mixed results. I don’t regret supporting even the failed projects though, since I viewed it more like a donation than a purchase.

Never buy early access on the hope that the game will get better. Buy it it’s at least good enough to justify its current price tag right now.

Or if you really want to support the project, but accept that it might not turn out.
IDK, I just buy the soundtrack or whatever if I really want to support it. But the game needs to be good enough to justify the price before buying.

Nah, I don’t care too much about their reputation, I care about reviews. If it’s good, someone will have reviewed it.
