In spite of some of the comments to the contrary here, I really think this is fine. Early access is early access. 2 hours has been the ground truth for a while. It does seem like a loophole, and I'm fine with them filling it.

Edit: and it isn't really about Early Access -- it's about Advanced Access, from pre-orders.

Nah, I get the urge to jump to the defense at this point but I imagine the majority of people doing this weren't malicious and the actual devs have already been paid and aren't losing money on this. It lies squarely at the feet of the capitalist production companies in my opinion and fuck them.
