Steam has rolled out a subtle change to the store pages of early access games, seemingly in an attempt to warn players about purchasing an in-development title that might have been abandoned by its developers.

As highlighted by unofficial database SteamDB on Twitter, a message now appears when an early access game hasn't been updated in a long time, even telling potential players just how long it's been. "The information and timeline described by the developers here may no longer be up to date," the message notes.
