30 days agoA long time member of our community passed suddenly a little more than a year ago. Her father appended her steam name with “Rest in peace.” He arranged for an online memorial for her online friends and encouraged everyone to DM good memories to her accounts. Her account’s sat there in my friends list, offline, ever since. It was a great way to honor her, I think she’d have loved it.
I just had the unsettling realization that, over time, our friends lists will literally become virtual graveyards.
Just give me a notice before I buy, “Warning! This game is in early access and hasn’t been updated in X amount of time. It may be abandoned.”
If they’re going to do anything else, block sales to the game after a certain period of inactivity and notify the dev to either update the game, delist, or make the game free.
That way the game isn’t lost to time, people aren’t getting scammed, and it places some accountability on the dev if they want to continue their project.
