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

Jokes on them, I got burned on a couple early access games in like 2012 or something so I quit buying early access. Wait for a release.

Which is fair. Most people should not buy early access, and should wait for the devs to declare their project release ready. Early access buying is all risk and responsibility (to post feedback, to update Steam review if it's out of date withe the project, to understand the individual project's development pace, etc), with a lot of factors a buyer should take into account, that most people genuinely should not need to care about or wait for.

There are an insane number of Steam games already released to buy and play.
