Steam's new update will stop you wasting money on dead Early Access games
Look before you leap.

Early access games are a great way to test titles in development, but the creators aren't forced to actually release them. As such, you may purchase an Early Access game, clock a few hours, and then realize that the game was last updated three years ago and will probably never see the light of day. Fortunately, a new Steam update will give you information on each Early Access game so you don't waste your money on a game that's dead the moment you install it.
