Do early access games ever get finished?
Think of Early Access as a pre-purchase for a game that isn't finished yet. The idea is that a developer makes an alpha or beta build of their game available to buy for a knock-down price. Unlike demos or pre-orders, these versions of the game are rough and unpolished at best, or buggy and unfinished at worst.

Is it good to buy early access games?
You are simply buying it early, when many bugs are still present, and you are in the early stages of the game where the developers are still trying to get everything straight for the full release. When the full release happens, your game just gets updated just like any regular game does, nothing special.
