Comment on Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now

  Naw screw that. Don’t label it early access if you don’t plan to update it from its current state at a rate that the majority of your fan base expects.

    Or just don’t buy a game with expectations that don’t match reality and then get mad at other people.

    Typical gamer brain rot

  Both are true though.

  If you want to release your game in Early Access, you should expect to update the game and community frequently.

  If you want to buy a game (early access or not), take a look if it’s what you want to play right now, never buy any game, software, service or device that is promising the functionality you want will be coming later. If it does come later, buy it then, never buy on promises.
