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

Why? There are plenty of proper games that benefit from early access, and plenty of people that enjoy early access.

Whenever I buy early access I ask my self “if the devs evaporated and development stopped permanently tomorrow, would I still buy this game?” It has snagged me some games I love like valheim, window kill, palworld and blade & sorcery. It’s also gotten me some games I enjoyed but still felt like a paid a good price for it, and also dodged a few bullets because the games look fun but weren’t complete and I didn’t buy

This is great advice.
