Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Mechabellum is a game that we intend to release as a Free to Play title in the future, with an array of systems and models to support the game long-term. As we are a small team of developers, we want to ensure the base game is in the most stable and balanced state as possible with the polish and level of quality that the game must be in to be successful in a competitive space. With a strong need to have a fair, balanced, and even experience to be a rewarding competitive experience for our players, we will release it into early access so that early adopters can be part of the process to balance Mechabellum for satisfying competitive play. These early pioneers will help shape the future of Mechabellum as we move toward version 1.0.'
