Posts worth knowing
The news feed goes back to 2023. I list the posts that change what a player should expect, and I point at Steam for the older devlogs rather than padding this page with empty titles.

After launch
SteamDB’s visible history around launch is store metadata, including the review percentage moving, not a chain of depot patches I can describe. When a patch post appears, this page should gain a row and a new checked date. Until then the honest status is: shipped, thanked, no patch notes yet.
Questions
