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.

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?
