#Steam transparency

Valve has introduced a new feature on Steam designed to warn users about early access games that may have been left to rot. Steam’s early access program has been a double-edged sword for years. The feature hasn’t been officially announced by Valve, but it was first spotted by SteamDB and later highlighted by gaming outlets. However, for potential buyers, this added transparency should serve as a useful tool in assessing whether an early access game is worth the risk. While Steam’s new warning won’t guarantee a game’s future, it will at least help players make more informed decisions before dropping cash on an unfinished product that may never see completion. 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. The Steam Summer Sale kicked off last June 23, and some of the deals on games are just too good to pass up. The Steam Summer sale ends on July 6, 2017 in the Philippines.
