Steam has started to warn players about early access titles. The scams of the past are likely to be zeroed out...
Steam is making a big change to Early Access games, introducing a special warning system for games that haven't been updated in a long time. Valve's newly announced feature will clearly mark games that haven't received an update in 12 months or more, allowing players to see this information before making a purchase decision.
Steam enters the new era with new decisions
The new update is a huge advantage, especially for players who are hesitant to spend money on unfinished or abandoned games. Previously, many gamers have been victimized by investing money in games where the developers either didn't deliver on promised features or stopped updating altogether. Now Steam will show players the 'last update date' of these games before they buy them, making it clear whether they are potentially at risk.
The new alert system will incentivize developers to regularly maintain their games, while enabling gamers to make a more informed purchasing decision.
Steam's move aims to provide more transparency about the status of games, especially those in early access that haven't received updates in a long time. This way, players will be able to easily understand whether the game they purchased is still in development or not.
