Flight sim world (dovetail games) caveat emptor

Are we really discussing about what an "Early Access" is ? Is it really such a mysterious and "never heard before" expression for some people ?
It's just a beta (sometimes even an alpha), there's no secret about it anywhere. I don't know why people keep complaining about that...
 
I've been playing EARLY ACCESS Ultimate General Gettysburg and UG Civil War. The updates are consistent and add to the game play. The price is low while in early access and Steam responds positively to our request. DTG is doing exactly the same thing. The good news is that they are at least releasing a full flight sim with additions to come...

I don't remember exactly, but I've had at least one game in early access, and it was what was advertised: a work in progress alpha version of a game, which became complete (and quite nice too) a few months later. I saw it as a "preorder with benefits".
Same goes with Star Citizen, for example, although the waiting time is much longer (and the content is much bigger too...).
