We need to report Valheim to steam because they were ruining the reputation for Early Access
Because they made enough sales and ran away, they were basically ruining the reputation of other honest game developers, who would utilize the Early Access mechanism and actually keep on completing the games

OP, please go away and spew your toxicity somewhere else.

Try reading some of their updates, it's a great game for the price already and they're clearly working on it.
If you're not ok with an unfinished game don't buy early access.

I'm not ok with serious solid major deliberate infringement with their own Roadmaps, which were posted during they made most of their sales

At first i thought you where sarcastic, this game´s early access was more polished than some triple A titles.

True. Except they were no longer working on the game after they've made the sales

Dude, come back to reality. Valheim and Iron Gate Studios are exactly the people I would rather have making video games than any of the triple-A studios.
Triple-A gave us Diablo Immortal.

This is a ridiculously stupid and ill-informed post. Troll elsewhere.

Stop trying to farm jester bro. It's pathetic. :sAt first i thought you where sarcastic, this game´s early access was more polished than some triple A titles.

On the off chance you're serious; Everyone who's been on this forum has seen their posts, even during that "when they were making sales phase" where they very openly came out and said they're not really increasing the team size and are going to keep to their original estimates without getting ahead of themselves. Which is a smart move because just like they predicted the sales slowed down because it's a small indie team working on a huge project bit by bit.
How easy do you think making games is? Hell, the choo-choo charles dev has been at it for a WHILE and his game is incredibly more simple than this one from a technical standpoint, and that's with using premade assets too. Imagine if this clown was there waiting for a decade on Kenshi.

First of all I'm a skyrim modder with 170k+ downloads as well as a Software Engineer as main job. So I might know better than you that all of their contents updates by far requires the work of one developer in 14 days. The only work worth noting is their online connection optimization which was done over 1 year ago, when the sales were still hot and that they made the mistake big time and need to quickly fix the issue to guarantee more sales.
After that they are no longer motivated. The content of hearth and home is something I can get it done in one afternoon, except for the new building textures

Make some actual arguments rather than vague complaints.
I bought what I thought was an Alpha and got a game that runs well, is very enjoyable and has been well worth the 20$.
They delivered and despite some slower than desired updates, they do keep working on it. It has gotten better (some nice additions and optimizations) and soon Mistlands.
I've wasted 50-60$ on what were called 'finished products' but were not even or barely alpha level games, like Fallout 76 and Cyberpunk. Both have been improved since launch but still are not very good. Those are the real scams. They suckered many fans.

I agree that they've made a neat game initially. That's why I posted not a year ago but just now

I can kind of sympathize with OP. I bought the game on release, and it was great. We had a server and played hard. Got all through the endgame... But it's kind of fallen into stagnation. While the Hearth and Home/Caves updates were nice, they didn't really add that much content.
The devs made a ton of money from the early access and apparently haven't expanded their team. If they had, things would be progressing faster than things currently are (I was gunna say "a snail's pace" but snails move faster). I definitely can understand the "they took the money and ran" perspective.

Oh ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ a skyrim modder folks! Wowzers, you're an expert at making your own assets and framework then. And being a senior expert pro software engineer I'm sure they'll ask for your help if they run into any if/then loops.
Personally I say put your money where your mouth is. You can knock out the content of just one of their updates in a day, then given two months you can breeze past where they are now! Think of all the EASY money you'd make. So.. do that, no need to keep your main job as consultant engineer.

I've seen the spaghetti with roach sauce hotshots boasters produce in 14 days. It's usually not worth debugging.
For some reason, it is OK on this forum for unfounded accusations and personal attacks to be leveled at the developers (together with claims of massive personal programming prowess by the poster), but it's not OK to suggest anything personal about the troll$ who do so. So I'm not.

They've expanded their team which negatively effects development productivity for the first while, but they've been transparent throughout.

It is also promoting an extremely unethical business practice, which focuses on hunger marketing and paying the content creators to create "Hypes". More and more game producers are now adopting this, including Warhammer3. Except that Warhammer 3 actually failed
