Some of the points you listed aren't benefits to the customer but to the devs... no worry although I wouldn't pay for most early access (can't say I never would, because it could appear a game I'm very interested that I would take the chance to play it earlier). I'm just pointing concern for a disclaimer that protects the company much more than the customer.

Well let's not discuss what ifs and semantics, althought the disclaimer could have been made in a manner that doesn't seem like to totally excuse them from responsability. And sure I agree customers are free to decide even if we think it's a dumb decision. I also think it's dumb to buy year releases and certainly there are people that think it's dumb that I buy GTS and have a wheel.

Something can benefit the developer and still be a selling point to some consumers (e.g. funding development of a game that might otherwise not exist), it doesn't have to be just one or the other.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that, because i think the disclaimer is fine. It's clearly placed, and gives you a quick but defined description of the key risks. It's worth noting that at least as far as PUBG goes, i expect those risks are exceedingly unlikely. MS are publishing the game, so i'd be surprised if some sort of contract wasn't in place between MS and Bluehole.

No worries, sure some cases you can say that the person want to fund the game, but that isn't really a benefit to himself. Also when talking about a game that already crossed dozen Millions on PC and have MS as publisher doesn't really need extra funding.

On the second part, I agree that we don't pursue this line of though anymore as it really is quite unlikely that MS would just call quits if they can avoid, even if cases like Scalebound happened canceling PUBG wouldn't benefit MS.
