Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«Islands of Nyne has undergone extensive testing during its Pre-Alpha and Alpha phases throughout its years of development, and as such, its current state can be considered more polished than most titles on Early Access. Crashes should be extremely rare, performance on both the client-side and network should be comparable to most Early Access titles in the same genre if not better, and most importantly, gameplay is fun and relatively balanced. Despite its current state of polish, we will continue to closely monitor player experience so that we can respond to any bug reports or balance issues with haste. We don't sleep here at Define Human Studios.

In terms of features, our Early Access version offers player matchmaking lobbies, server side eSports tournament settings, a competitive ranking system, in-game squads & proximity VoiP, a robust Anti-Cheat, private servers, player stats, and global/friends-only leaderboards.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?
