sorry if this is already been asked i can't find it. but someone told me you have to rebuy the game to get early access, is this true? i just have a standard addition and i'm not legacy. does this mean i need to purchase another to get access early?

also does this mean upgrading my standard to collectors edition does not work the same like that? i see it for 19.99 and was thinking it was worth it for the early access alone but was also told it doesn't count as pre ordering and will not get me early access. also i don't even see a place to order this upgrade yet in the store, it just shows it in the list of possible purchases but not an actual buy now for it.

so basically i want to know 1. can i get into early access 2. what is easiest and cheapest way to get in early access. thanks.
