Totally agreed. Cancelling the 72 hour early access is highly unethical. It's called bait and switch and many countries have laws to protect consumers against it.
If this proves to be the case I will be very disappointed in Larian. Lots of trust will have been lost.
Respectfully, this is nonsense. They said it was launching 8/31, and EA players would get act 1 on 8/28.
Then they moved it up to 8/3 for everybody. To complain about the 72 hour thing disappearing when you're getting the game 3 weeks earlier than you otherwise would makes no sense.
It comes across as "I need my special shiny that other people don't get."
You're getting the game much earlier than anticipated, there is nothing logical to complain about
