Beta isn’t for feedback on core systems, it’s for performance and stability fixes. Alpha is for core systems.

But also, I can’t think of any game beta that took iterative feedback to core systems the way today’s early access games do. Perhaps because more games are very systems-driven today by comparison.

Both of those terms mean whatever the developer wants them to mean.

Not sure what you are referring to. The refund policy on Steam is the same for any games, early access or not. The game’s version number or finished state makes no difference.
Maybe you are thinking of the pre-purchase situation, where you can refund up to 14 days after the game’s release, instead of the date of purchase.

Ah, that’s it. You’re right. In which case, never buy an early access game unless its current state is worth the money right now.
