Question still being ignored

You are not an investor, by the definition of an investor, as you do not receive a profit. However, you have made an Early Access purchase by the descriptions of Early Access, defined by Steam as Early Access. Neither of which gives you a stake in the game's profits nor does it allow you to mandate the game's direction. Instead, you can provide feedback to influence the game's approach at the consideration of the game's proprietors.
