But there are also screenshots floating around re-confirming that the three day early access is still in effect, hence people's confusion.
Swen, the CEO of the company, is pretty clear.
Actually he is not clear at all. I interpreted that; and still do; as the game is coming out of Early Access on 3rd August, which is exactly what we already knew. This is further confused by his very next statement about playing all of Baldurs Gate 3 when the early start was meant to be Act 1 only.
