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

I wonder what the threshold for this warning is. I follow a lot of great early access games that only put out big updates 1-3 times a year.

why 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.

The examples I've seen are a year+ with no updates. Not definitive, but I highly doubt they're doing this for the cases you're talking about.
