Miksi Early Access?

I was always a skeptic about early access but was deeply moved by the amazing work and forthcoming approach of Iron Gate AB on their work with Valheim. It's almost a cliché at this point for developers to bounce in the moment from project to project, and in many regards, I am no exception, however, Daydreamer 2 is something I keep coming back to. For the past 2 and a half years I have been consistently put in countless hours to bring this closer to fruition.
