It literally happens all the time in other media. People crowdfund projects (books, movies, games, manufactured products) all the time with an expectation that the final product will be different than the concept they funded. It's completely transparent for these types of products, and early access that is clearly labeled poses no harm to anyone other than people who don't pay attention to the label.
