Car Trader SimulatorLive Motion Games · entered 4 Nov 2020Car Trader SimulatorLive Motion Games · entered 4 Nov 2020We believe the game to be in Early Access for approximately half an year. Depending on the feedback from EA players we will adjust the Early Access accordingly. We are still trying different new features and there is a great possibility that our players' feedback will also provide us with ideas that we will not be able to pass on.read 12 Sep 2026about 6 months5 years 10 months1172%Overdueby 5 years 4 months

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.
