Защо „Ранен достъп“?

„King of Retail was primarily made while in Early Access. Many features, and ideas in the game came directly from the requests of the community. That leads to a game that is in part made by the players, for the players.
And since it was a great success doing it this way, i would like to copy this recipe again.“
