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".

Fortnite was also in beta for a long time
