Research direction
Start by locating the Steam game page's right-hand infobox and the existing integration with SteamDB metadata. Add the Early Access release date below the current 1.0 date when available, and assess whether a global First seen date is practical. Verify the infobox on games with and without Early Access metadata.

Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Convenience enhancement. Mainly that Steam's current system allows a bit of, uh, revisionism in a game's release date. The right-hand infobox shows when a game released into 1.0, but if you're trying to work out how long a game's actually been around/available for purchase, that date can be... misleading.
Describe the solution you'd like
Since SDB holds the metadata for when a game released into EA, it would be handy if that could be injected into the page below the current "1.0" release date, where applicable.
(Global "First seen" date would be useful too, if it isn't too expensive):
(Or, if you wanna be all fancy like)
