Seems to happen quite a bit though lately. Planetary Annihilation adopted the same strategy when they put their early access game on sale for € 50. Their reasoning was that all their Kickstarter backers paid that much so any other price tag would be unfair to them. Although I can follow their reasoning I still feel it's extremely weird that I have to pay more for an alpha release than what you have planned to charge for your finished product. I think the Minecraft model where you paid less when in alpha and costs increased when the product was nearing release was much better. But I can't blame dev's for trying this, if people are willing to pay more for this type of early access then why not oblige them
