When see Early access think of Indie gogo, or kickstarter, they give you key, or private download, you get "Early access", if don't want that kind of early access, and want access when it's not far from being finished product AKA too late to make feedback for critical mass changes without causing a huge U turn without going back to being alpha again, that kind of why it better to call it what it is early access, instead of the state it gonna be at the moment, gives them that wiggle room, and doesn't scare people away because they saw the word alpha, and avoided a game they would've liked, and get mad missing out when prices goes up after the release.
Lol some people still wouldn't read, and complain either way you call it, the fact people that get mad when they buy into a game that flop knew the risks that can happen when there problems to it, or lack of feedback, and customers.
Make it red, blinking, and so on, and you may get shock there still be someone ranting in the end somehow.
The people who can miss that, would complain no matter what it was called..
The issue always comes back to people either not informing themselves by reading what is highlighted right in front of them. Or more likely people ignoring what is plainly written in front of them in favor of whatever fantasy they've imagined in their heads.
This is kinda why the people who complain always talk about things like promises, investtment, supporting. None of them seem to understand that they made ' A purchase of an unfinished game'.
Why does anything need to blink when this is what an Early Access game store page looks like - https://ibb.co/LnJ02Fm
Yeah but then they would not sell anything on that account, the only reason people buy Early Access games is because they believe on the game project the developer team is working on !
If people know that the game is discontinued in the development process, then nobody will buy them !
and that is what I mean by robbing people off their money !
I mean you dont Order a brand new Ferrari and then only get the carbody and some wheels, but parts of the engine is missing and the luxery you where promessed is allso in "development" so you need to wait for it and may or maybe not your parts might be developed, so you can drive the car you where ordering?
Get my point ?
FOr some maybe. Sopme people don't read. before they buy.
I'd like to think most people understand what they're buying.
How can you tell ? I mean if it's in Early Access it is literally a statement of intent to continue development.
Then if anyone that purchases an EQ title comes to the forum complaining because they couldn't grasp or accept the EA warnings they get banned from purchasing EA title for 6 months, hen 1 year and then for life....account specific, obviously.
Plenty of projects stall for years, then get picked up again, sometimes changing. Even then they may or may not change. I'm still hoping for Vampire: The Masquerade® - Bloodlines™ 2 and that wasn't an EA title and at this point I'm not holding my breath. Just using it as an example
You just said it yourself .. "intent" ... By early access you get people into believe that it will 100% be a finished project and will be continued in its development for future generations and so on ..
I mean you try buy a car, if you buy a luxery car, lets say a brand new lamborghini .. then you need to wait for it to be build first !
lets say the company only send you the wheels and a steering, but you payed for the whole car .. wouldnt you be pissed off and sue the company if their dont send the rest of your car ?
I sure would !
It is not legal & you can sue them at this page for it -> https://wilshirelawfirm.com/blog/california-employment-law/can-you-sue-a-company-for-false-advertising/
Unfortunately, some companies go to extreme lengths to maximize sales, putting profits over people. Instead of investing in creating a better product or offering a superior service, they’d rather mislead people about its features or even trick people into buying it.
This type of unethical advertising can result in millions of dollars stolen from consumers.
Depending on the product or service, it can even put lives at risk, something some companys is willing to take, just to gain profit.
So that is why i think we need to make a statement, so we avoid being abused as costumers !
Sure its legal, your told the game might never change. They have the intent to finish it, but your warned things can happen and it might never finish or change. So it would not remotely meet the threshold of false advertising.
Hence why if your not comfortable with the risk you shouldn't buy EA titles. If your buying them hoping for a different product then what you bought then you've failed to read and have no one to blame but yourself.

Which is on every early Access store page which is larger than the description lower down or it's requirements, reviews and all the other information about the product
But you can pre-order some products like cars before they've been fully manufacturer/made just like you can with games that may or may not be in Early Access
Because you'd be buying a complete car not just a component and if you were sold just the wheels you'd see that in the legal document. and not be paying 300-2,000 just for the wheel.
Compared to games the car example would be spending 2% and getting the wheels and still be expected to pay the other 98% at a later time. When buying EA you are paying for the complete product as is, that may or may not change. You are not paying 1-2.00 and expecting to get the 100% full and complete product
Manipulating key terms, Deceptive visual representation of the product, Bait and switch, Incomplete or false comparisons, Misleading product warranties or guarantees, Selling a product that doesn’t actually do what it’s marketed to do, Leaving out information that the average buyer would consider important to know, Exaggerating the size of a product to make it look bigger, Advertising a product for one price and actually selling it for a higher price, Claiming sales prices without actually marking down products, Advertising a warranty for a product but refusing to honor it, Marketing a product with a no-hassle money-back guarantee and then refusing to honor it ..
All against the law on a global level !
Nope, showing a work in progress is not deceptive
Nope because again, in plain english your told what you are getting
Nope, steams warranty and refunds are clear, as is the fact that you have NO Guarantee the product will ever be completed
Nope you were sold a product as is, and you expected it to change despite being told it might never change
And on and on, your throwing out a lot of buzz words with absolutely no clue what they mean. You made a choice to buy an unfinished product that was still in development and were told that the product might never be completed. You were given the standard refund and warranty for all products sold.
All of that is legal, its like if you bought a stock and then tried to sue because you lost money on it.... You got a copy of the game as is, then you weren't happy because it didn't change the way you wanted.
You have absolutely no legal case or else you'd be suing valve and raking in millions of dollars..... If you had the tiniest shred of a legal case a lawyer would jump at the chance to represent you on commission.
Instead you just bought an EA title, refused to read the warnings and then complained when what you were warned about happened.
