You bought the game (version 0.26), and you received it at the time of purchase (Just like in a restaurant - you ordered food, they brought it to you right away). You don't have to wait to play version 0.26. But if you want to play the latest version (0.35) right now, the game is worth buying for $10. Or pay $5, be patient and wait.

Which would be alright if it were the full game. But since it isn't the full game, it's like paying for a full meal and only getting half of your mean and the cook telling you that the rest of your meal Is ready and even though you've already paid for it, you still need to wait for it.
I already paid for my full meal, why are you serving me an incomplete meal and why are you forcing me to wait for the rest of my meal?
Again, you paid for the 0.26 version and you got it in full. You asked for lunch - you received it immediately at the time of purchase.
Version 0.35 (let's call it dinner) is now in early access. It is available to those who paid the full price, without a discount. You will get version 0.35 but later (you just have to wait for dinner).
