    This is a great idea. While devs could circumvent this by just pushing small, meaningless updates to refresh the timer, truly abandoned projects would still be flagged.

    Good move, but some great in work games will get caught up in this such as Project Zomboid which is being worked on but has a glacial release cycle.

      Its just a warning, if the game is still active people can still access it.

      While I agree, PZ did just get updated with Experimental 42 like back in December, so I don’t think it’d receive one of these for a while.

      Even PZ gets updates in smaller scale between the big releases. This will probably only flag truly dead games.

      No. The steamdb extension shows the last update date.
