    Nah, ‘open beta’ was the term for a long time; early access is a newer thing.

      I think you’re misunderstanding what I mean. Early Access is a newer term for getting paid access to a game early. Open beta is an older term but was used for free access to a game early for testing purposes. They used to have different meanings which is why early access was created as a new term to distinguish it from a beta. Calling paid early access a beta is intentionally misleading.

        Alright, thanks for the clarification! Honestly, I think both terms are misused all the time and I have just stopped caring about it.
