“Note: The final update of developers was more than 2 years ago.” The valve now warns the initial access title on its steam game platform, which has not been updated for a long time. “The information provided by developers and schedules cannot be done yet,” this continues.

There is warning in informal steam tracker Steamdb discoveredHe is getting active in the initial access game that has not been updated for more than a year. The initial access is a growth format in which a studio publishes early and unfinished versions of its game to generate revenue already and integrate the community into development. Hopefully the game will be actively developed and care will be taken regularly with new features, until it is “finished” at some point. It worked excellently with “Baldur’s Gate 3” or “satisfactory”.
Software corpses warning
Other studios take their updated promises less seriously or simply fail due to development. If an initial access game is not provided with long updates, it is appropriate to suspect that the developer has excluded himself from the dust. The new warning aims to prevent users from purchasing such software corpses in the hope that the game will be actively improved.

Detailed update information is available on the steam pages given below under the menu item “Show Update History”. There you can see properly when the patch for each game was last published. The new warning makes this information more fast and easier.
On social media, users now make fun of finding initial access games that are no longer updated. Most of the games mentioned are not found in the German store. Because in Germany, the valve last year excluded all the games from the store which does not wear age marking. Most of the developers of the old abandonment, especially on the steam, have not almost taken care of an age license plate for their game – accordingly, several plays in Germany flew out of the store completely in November.
