When did this become a Early Access title?

How come this was only mentioned 20 hours ago?

It was being shown and sold as the complete product on your store as a bonus to the Ultimate Edition.
Nothing mentions it’s a unfinished product…

Except it has been mentioned as “early access” since being announced as a pre order bonus. That being said 343i really should’ve emphasized the phrase “early access” as meaning the same thing as early access state titles because it can be easily confused for the phrase meaning simply just playing it early.

But that being said it isn’t exactly a loss since it’s still slated to be fully armed and operation by the February release date without having to pay a penny extra so yeah…

Literally anyone I’ve talked to took early access as to access to the complete product before anyone else. Not as in a “unfinished product”.

I also can’t help but say I never noticed the red text on the FAQ before, ever. I checked it a day ago and unless I totally missed it, it ended with the
"**Q: Where do I go for support or further assistance?**A: The 343 team will do their best to monitor the Waypoint forums and keep this FAQ up to date as new info becomes available. However for official support needs, please visit http://support.xbox.com/en-US/contact-us."

I might just be blind thought, but the store page should reflect its actually a unfinished product as it don’t even mention EA in any shape or form…

Also I cant find any mention of it being early access anywhere until today. Feel free to link me sources.

Early access means it isn’t done yet. It has been repeated several times for at least the past month. Heres the proof from Dec 1st, I’m sure there are more sources earlier, but that took me ten seconds to find. If you play before release, never expect a completed game, because there are always day one updates, even if they are small. Also, the game literally came out in the past twelve hours, give it a couple days and see what happens.
