Valve has introduced a new feature on Steam designed to warn users about early access games that may have been left to rot. While it has allowed countless indie developers to bring ambitious projects to life with community support, it has also left many gamers burned when projects fail to materialize into full-fledged games. It flags games that haven’t received updates for extended periods, giving users a heads-up before purchasing. There’s still room for improvement in distinguishing between truly abandoned projects and games with longer development cycles. As the feature continues to roll out, it could become an essential part of the Steam shopping experience, helping separate active, evolving projects from games that have been left behind. These past months have been a big blast for the gaming community with the launch of big games like Resident Evil 7, Nioh, For Honor, and Horizon Zero Dawn. It's not over yet though as more games are launching next month. Check out some of the video games to watch out for next month.
