It's not a live service game but it's an early access game that released at the beginning of the year with a roadmap of 4 major content updates this year of which none have been released yet. With how much the game sold, they should have the money to hire additional staff as clearly over half a year for a tiny update is just too long. Let's hope they are already working on the mistlands update so that it doesn't taker another year for that update to drop.

I know lack of content is a typical complaint in gaming recently and I dont think Valheim suffers from a lack of content however I do feel Valheim suffers from a lack of new content. It's been a while since I had played and although I am a fan I can't find myself hoping back in for new food recipes and some building changes. There are many new games coming out this fall that'll grab a lot of attention and once attention is grabbed it's less likely players return to another games, especially survival. I had hoped Valheims development speed would have increased with the amount of sales and the massive amount of interest but one of the biggest conflicts I have is if I want a survival, building, & crafting game with regular updates and new content Minecraft is the best better choice, yes Minecraft has way more funds, bigger team, & crazy mod support, while also looking at 7Days which updates pretty regularly. What I really need are regular updates that keep me from trying something else because I find it hard to recommend a game I am not currently playing where I'd rather recommend the game I plan to play or am currently invested in. I play Minecraft regularly even as a side game because the experience can be different every time which isn't true about Valheim, sure progression could be slower or I could do my one hardcore rules.

My concern is that Valheim has already sold nearly all the units it will ever sell. There are no subscriptions, or microtransactions, which means the cash flow has stopped. The devs are all set for life, none need ever work again. Hiring help will not drive more sales, it will just eat into their money pile.

So what is their incentive to keep working on the title?

I'd like to see some cosmetic paid DLC
Wouldn't effect gameplay and people who wanted to support development could do so.
like hair styles, stuff like that

edit add - not to remove anything they plan on added to the game already.. just to augment stuff like more color options on shields for example.
