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

minus-squarereksas@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·edit-220 days agowhy even have a threshold, just tell when the last update has been and update it automatically. That way you could also have more reliable data about patterns of the dev and see if they just have really long update cycle.
