Early Access being called a "release". No your game is not released if its 20% done stop saying "New awesome game just released" when its basically a tech demo.
The reason many studios do this is because they are based in regions where you get government subsidies for being in pre-release states for game development. Digital Extreme's Warframe was one such property to do this, and I believe they still classify themselves officially as "in beta".
Did not know this. Just another waste of taxpayers money 🙄
It's really not. The whole reason for the grants is to incentivize companies and educated people to stay in country, which adds to the economy.
