This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don’t like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it.

But by now gamers have been so trained to expect to endless content treadmills and all their ilk like mtx and battle passes that publishers/developers get egged on if they don’t work on their game 24/7 and forever.

    Very reasonable, I hope the dev sticks to his guns and keeps a manageable pace. I feel that it’s right to expect content updates coming in if the game is marked early access, but so long as you don’t pull a Valheim, people shouldn’t be mad at you

        Nothing that bad, but the updates are insanely slow and the roadmap of things they promised in 2021 took 3-4 years instead of one. At this rate the game could spend a decade in early access.

          True, but it is still being worked on.

          Another EA game that I was really into a couple years ago until they abandoned, and now they’re starting back up on it again, is Starbase.

          It is. It’s just slow, and you know how G*mers are about slow dev cycles.

          “Dead game! Dead game!” Then how come they just released a huge update for it with the next entire biome a few weeks ago?

            It’s been four years and all of my friends moved on. I still enjoy it but there’s only so much fun to be had solo

          I think it’s going to be like 7 Days to Die and just never be completed. I’m hoping they’ll eventually do one big announcement or final release that will get my friends to log back in
