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.

Isn't it still being worked on?

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
