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

Why not stop the sale of games that haven't had an update in more than 3 months or offer extended return windows?

Sometimes the dev wants to push a bigger update and takes more than 3 months? Why full stop the sales? Just warn the people and let them decides.

Okay maybe not 3 months but some sort of time frame and maybe not a full halt but perhaps a more significant warning like an are you sure popup on adding to cart.

Plus maybe require monthly dev posts as to progress for early access so people know it's still actually being worked on., otherwise the warning.

Plus the longer refund times if updates haven't happened in months
