Hi,

I got from the How to Properly Add a Game's Release Data thread that games that initially release in early access should get a separate releases for when they graduate from early access in a full release.

How does this relate to the First release date field on the main page of a game? Should first release date be filled with the release date of the early access version because, well, it was first, or should only the full release of a game be considered?

Early access date should always be the first release date on the main page, for example Hades has a release date of December 7, 2018 when it came out in Early Access but its finished release date was September 17, 2020.
