New Early Access warning on store pages

[DiceDsx]

Looks like Valve added a warning for EAG that haven't been updated in a long time.

Example:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/671860/BattleBit_Remastered/

I don't know how many months must pass for it to appear, though.

It doesn't seem like an Early Access game though. It seems it's just not released yet.

Edit: Ohh, there really is a new warning on Early Access games.
That's nice!

I wonder how many people will actually read it, given not many read the EAG warning as-is.

Nice little update though.

Very nice added info, that should appease all of the steam users that hate EAG that they think are dead....

I most likely wont most of the time (even though I will read early access banner), since I use Augmented Steam in my browser that shows 'last update' right under 'release date' on all store pages.

But it's a nice addition nonetheless.

Likely won't do anything, but doesn't hurt. Still wish people would read the existing message

Fun fact... It won't, at least not entirely. A lot won't even read it and still complain that it's not a finished game and want refunds. Others will choose to use it as proof that Steam needs to start delisting these "abandoned" games.

It's a good addition to the warning but appeasement is a long way away.

I doubt they will notice it. I mean they don't notice the big blue box. and its not like the last upodate was hidden before.

If they can't read the big blue box, how do you expect them to read the little orange writing?

The ones that can read you won't see here ranting :)
So if it helps someone all good, at least would give me a reason to look into why no updates.

Complainers gonna complain.

Wonder how long since the last update does the warning trigger.

Should just remove them. Forbid the devs releasing additional early access again for 5 years. Some devs just release one after another never finishing them. If thats not fraud i dont know what is.

In what way would banning people from playing games they bought be a "punishment" for the developers?

How is it fraud when the game is listed and advertised as incomplete, and an incomplete game is exactly what you get when you press the buy button? Sounds like the most honest advertising and transaction you could get.

This is a good start

Not really a problem, even an abandoned EA game can still be worth buying if your happy with the content that is there for the price.

The issue has always been people keep buying it and ignoring that they flat out tell you don't buy it expecting it to change, only buy it if your content with it as is
