We do actively communicate issues live on Discord: https://discord.gg/eco
We also have a status page: https://status.play.eco/

We cannot use a simple Steam verification, as our authentication is not done client-side but server-side, as usualy for multiplayer games. We also have many players not using Steam for playing at all that purchased the game on our website. Steam wouldn't work with those even when authentication was done client-side. (Which doesn't work for multiplayer games, given we need to check a lot of different data for your avatars, account status and tier)
