Excellent feature. One of the first things I check anyways when buying early access games is when the last news post was.

being consumer friendly has brought them more money than any exploitative behaviour ever could have. Getting rid of that would be like butchering a goose that makes golden eggs just so you can get some extra money from the meat.

Butchering that goose is the common tactic of satisfying shareholders temporarily.

Fortunately, their shareholders are still private and they don't have to go to that level (yet)

if i was shareholder i would be furious about that. Isnt "infinite growth" the very point of all this insanity?

One bad quarter beats any long term growth goals, for some reason
