Yes, two weeks. That seems like a reasonable time.

The Early Access may be a bit Late.

Han said that they are working hard on fixing bugs. Perhaps they regret promising early access.

It is a pain in the ass for developers when 1 million dramaqueens report them. 
I for one understand they want to get as many of them fixed as possible before release

Yes, releasing as "clean" as possible is a wise thing. A bad reputation from the start will do huge damage for a long time.

Remember the Cyberpunk 2077 tragedy?? An EXCEPTIONAL game, ruined because of buggy release. It was fixed later, but the ship had sailed. It never got the fame deserved.

Rockstar is trying to avoid this with its new GTA. Although they never released with major bugs.

So I think it's really wise to avoid a buggy early acces.

Cliffs of Dover never recovered really, and Team Fusion had an eternal uphill struggle - we don't even have that luxury of an external modding team with GB.

Well, it's 'nearly' here, and that's good enough for me.
