Steam early access games that haven't been updated in a long while will now be more prominently labelled as such, according to reports.
As noticed by third-party tracking platform SteamDB, Valve have begun adding warnings to early access info boxes, making it harder to accidentally spend your pocket money on a promising project that hasn't advanced in years.
I'm not sure it was ever that easy to mistakenly buy a 'dead' early access game, mind you, but it saves you the Dr-Watson-level detective work of digging up the last few update changelogs, or peering at the user reviews.
Valve have yet to formally announce this new approach. It's a popular move already, but there are a few complaints about the execution.
In the case of poor Heartbound up there in this article's header image, some have pointed out that the game has recently received updates in beta.
