That would be probably least used feature ever.
It would definitely help filter out bad faith early access games from projects by indie devs who genuinely need the funding to continue development.
I think restricting the ability to modify that date once set and showing all previous dates if they get bumped would make this a really useful tool.
It’s niche, but it lets them get the best of both worlds. Even when a company does early access right, a lot of people would rather wait for the complete game.
This would let them refine and build up with early access, then get a significant boost at their proper release.
That’s a nice addition.
Couldn’t they already do that?
I feel like I’ve seen it before, but maybe that was just listings for full games that were available for wishlist/preorder prior to release. The article says there was no official place for a 1.0 early access release in the system prior to this.
I feel like I’ve seen tons of game pages that have some sort of “coming soon” or “TBA” just under the screenshots.
