Did steam always have this for early access games or is it a new thing, and why isn't it mandatory for all EA games?

I suppose that exact thing might be new, but in the body devs have always had to bullshit an end date. It's not like the game gets kicked out of EA if it passes then or gets abandoned.
I do wish developers either had to update it or give a date for EA to end. There are a couple of games that have not been updated and are stuck on EA, never to be updated again. Like if a game doesn't get updated at least once every 6 months in EA it looses it EA access or something.

I think the current system works good, where it tells you if there's been a significant amount of time since the last update. I'd much rather know that the game was in early access and abandoned rather than not have it and seem like a finished game. It is a little generous, I don't think the message shows up until a year or two of no updates.

Drop That Beat Like An Ugly Baby (last updated 2013) will leave early access any day now, just you wait.
 
So they announced the release date of the Steam Machine today and it costs as much as a pre memory shortage high end gaming PC. Over $1500 after taxes and shipping for the 2 Terabyte model with both versions only having 8 Gigs of Vram. WHAT'S THE POINT?! This thing is tiny with no ventilation so it'll probably run like an old 2010s console with any remotely demanding games too. Fuck this pointless ass thing lol.

The Steam Machine is unlikely to run newer games five years down the road. It'll be great if you want to play older games.

It's honestly just what Ouya should have been but it costs like 5 times more, something like this sort of thing should have been released in 2010 and marketed to Indie devs as a launch pad and it could have been a repository for retro games too.

There is absolutely no reason for this to exist in the modern age yet alone at this retarded price point and the market will undoubtedly prove it i'm sure. It's good to see Valve getting the shake up they need to remind them that they still have to actually TRY I just wish it didn't come from them punching themselves in the balls like complacent corporations with no real market share competition tend to do.
