I remember around a year ago on the Chucklefish forums. People were frequently told, by CF staff that they could get a refund, before release, if they were not happy. At this point, there was never any talk about Early Access, just Pre-order = Beta access + Full game (ETA 2013). Once the thing became early access, this was not re-clarified (until, apparently, now). I don't want a refund, but I can understand why some might. I have not even loaded up the game, as I was not around my computer when the early access was released. I did activate my key and have full intentions on playing it one day, when completed. With the way the Early Access is going, it will not see light until 2015. By then, my pre-order discount ($11.50) will have been beaten by several Steam sales, if not already. At this, I can see why people hate Early Access
