I was expecting early access steam, not a literal preorder page with no release date set.

I feel like that's the wrong way to do this. You either use preorder with a scheduled full release window, or steam early access. Taking money as preorders for a steam early access with pretty much no release window... That feels more like vaporware to me.

At least add it to steam for people to wishlist.

The initial roll out for Industrial Annihilation was really janky. With Planetary Annihilation, they did the Kickstarter thing and it worked pretty well (if I recall correctly, it was the highest grossing Kickstarter of all time at that point). With Industrial Annihilation, they revealed it as an investment platform for wealthy stockholders. Absolutely no options for people who wanted to support it but were either not ridiculously wealthy or just didn't want to own stock in the company.
