Well... they did not have to give early access to anyone. Just think, they could have made us all wait until Dec. 20th to play. I'm just happy to get in early... when ever that may be lol. I am so ready for Dec. 20th to roll around, then no one will be complaining about early access anymore... but then again I'm sure there will still be people complaining about it after the fact... some people just like to complain.
