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

      I think most of the games that would be in this position aren’t willing or able to do that. It’s not like there’s a ton of income on stale half-released games with no active development, but people should be aware that’s what they’re looking at anyway.

      Jokes on them, I got burned on a couple early access games in like 2012 or something so I quit buying early access. Wait for a release.

    This is what a company looks like when it’s not funded by venture capitalists that insist the line always go up exponentially.

    Good on Steam for taking the time an energy to create a feature that is strictly pro-consumer.

    I just have Steam set up to hide early access games. There’s not much reason to play early access when there are so many great and fully complete games you can play in the meantime.

      My favorite game ever is noita and i played it for almost 3 years of early access plus the 4 years since release. I’m really happy i got to see this great game be worked on. Tbf i think the bulk of the game was pretty much fleshed out already and the devs just made things better and added new stuff.

          I got really lucky. I had ambrosia on me and i teleported in a little pocket of dirt that contained a heart and a heart mage XD so i’m doing a god run now i guess. I haven’t done the sun quest yet so i’ll try to do that.

            I did the sun, dark sun, and supernova all in one run. Dunk Or Slam has a good video/long run where he does it. I imagine it’s easier now with mimicium. All the ambrosia one could ever want.
