That year came and went, because each update kept opening up something more worth doing than shipping 1.0 on schedule. So instead of a date, here's the condition. Observe leaves Early Access when the systems that decide whether a nation survives (economy, stability and rebellion, war, the nuclear age) are all in place and balanced against each other, when the tutorial teaches all of them, and when the Arena has run a full ranked season from start to finish. My honest estimate for that is another year.

A game is in Early Access when the store lists it among its genres; the clock starts on the day the ledger saw it enter or, for a game that launched into Early Access, on the release date the store prints. The promise is the developer’s own questionnaire answer, kept word for word; only ranges and single figures are compared, open answers are listed as open, and answers the parser could not read say so. Graduations are recorded from 3 Sep 2026, so earlier years undercount them. A game whose questionnaire has not been read yet says “not read yet” under No promise (how). Data by SteamPeaks.com.
