Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months. 🕵️ Tip: SteamDB browser extension shows last update for all games.

Excellent feature. One of the first things I check anyways when buying early access games is when the last news post was.

    They just know that line going up steadily is more valuable than line going up exponentially until people get sick of your shit.

      Not like the shareholders care about long term projects.
      I mean they might die before they see the end result

        I don’t know about this, but only because Steam has a very unique position in their market. Lots of intense loyalists for Steam means long-term projects yield hype and reputation.

        For example, the Steam Deck was a high cost high impact long-term project, and it wasn’t even in the interest of leading the handheld gaming market. It still brought them a lot of good press, and it also spearheaded the adoption of handheld gaming PCs - whether running SteamOS, Windows, or other linux distros - most of which are using Steam as the primary gaming library.
