I purchased the Early release and now it is saying i have to purchase it again

as one of the first people to purchase this game i am very disappointed that i am going to be one of the last people to be able to play it.

Hi EmmaaRoo19x!

Have you tried contacting support? Your purchase might have been cancelled and automatically refunded by the system so whenever you try to search for the game through the store, its asking you to purchase again.

Try to check your transaction list as well on
commerce.microsoft.com to view your transaction.

Yes, End it says if you buy the ultimate version you get early release, which was the only reason that I purchased the game for $100 instead of the Standard package

I'll have to agree with the no player loyalty. I did not buy the game early. I purchased it a few days after release and received all the bonuses for free and so did a friend of mine. The code was in the game case when purchased. I laughed (sorry for
those who purchased early), when I saw that and thought the same thing: what was the point in purchasing early if it came in the game case? I'm kind of surprised they are charging $5 for it.

Thank you for the news however, I always prefer to have the digital copy.

I purchased payday 2 on 7/22/16 and played it fine now it says i have to purchase again
