How can we trust games in early access if steam allows this?!?

First of all let me say this!! NO!!, this is not normal, early access is supposed to be a way for developers to get funding and feedback while the game is still being developed. Players buy into Early Access knowing the game isn't finished, but with the understanding that they'll get the final product when it's released

How can a game in early access since 2018 revoke keys for everyone who purchased it before July 2024. In my opinion I see this as theft to all the people who purchased this game. Why should we support unfinished games if our access can just be taken away. This is unfair and it's just not right.

Tell me why we should repurchase this again?

I'm more concerned how a game could be considered an "Early Access" with 75 MONTHS of no updates. Yes, that's 6 and a quarter of a year. It's quite clear that the game isn't developed anymore. What you see on the store is the final product. Most likely, EA badge was used just to pretend it'll get better. Eventually. Any day now. There should be a rule that the game without updates for a year should automatically lose EA badge and right to use EA badge in the future.
