I want the game NOW and not in december! I don't give a stuff if some rich kickstarter friends paid $100 no game is supposed to cost over $50 especially if it's not even done and you don't have any idea whether the game does actually get finished or whether the devs take the money and buy a new house! Alpha/Beta versions are always cheaper than the finished game because there is always a risk of it not getting done!

You're extremely stupid, they didn't pay $100 just for the game - they paid $100 to support the devs and then get the game as a bonus. You know the people that make these things are human.

There's also the risk that the people buying it aren't going to actually help the development and contribute, which is the entire reason there even IS early access.

There are two reasons for having alpha/betas
1. They need money sooner in order to develop the game. (Give people a discount to encourage sales)
2. They want feedback and developmental support for committed gamers. (Make the game less available by having a closed alpha/beta or by charging more)
In this case they went for option 2.
