It wasn't meant to happen at the same time. The price change was the effect of their .16 version being stable. Looking ahead, after "some months," they will release version .17, which they will probably consider as 1.0 and that is when it will be out of Early Release.
I got in about a week ago and the game is really fun. It's like cookie clicker on steroids. It's best to go into it without knowing the full depth and complexity of the game. I watched a bunch of videos after about 16 hours and I couldn't believe how complex and expansive some automation systems could become. It was way over my head.
But, it's not entirely necessary. You could still do just as well with smaller systems. It would just take longer -- and that's okay.
