Steam now warns you if that early access game you’re eyeing up has been abandoned by its devs

Steam has introduced a new feature for early access games that displays a highlighted note on store pages when a game has not received updates for an extended period, specifically after approximately 12 months of inactivity. This notification informs users about the duration since the last update and warns that developer information may no longer be current. An example is the game Cavern Kings, which has not been updated in eight years. However, there are concerns about the accuracy of this system, as seen with Heartbound, which recently received a patch for its beta branch but is labeled as having not been updated for over 13 months. Steam does not currently recognize beta updates as valid updates.

Microsoft is shutting down this Windows feature five months after it was announced

Microsoft has announced the discontinuation of the Windows 10 Beta branch, transitioning users to the Release Preview Channel as the sole testing channel for Windows 10. Users can manually switch channels through "Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program." This decision aligns with Microsoft's focus on Windows 11, while still allowing users to retain familiar Windows 10 features during the transition.
