I think it entirely depends on how you view Early Access. The point of Early Access is to get additional funding from interested players to pay for the rest of the game's development. Without enough money earned during Early Access, the "full" game is not going to happen. When I worked on an Early Access game, we didn't earn enough from the players buying in to finance the remainder of development, so the game was delisted and we were all either let go or transferred to other game teams.
