We didn't pay for a new game.

We didn't pay you devs to make a new game... we paid for this existing game that we thought had promise. It is absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ how you've gone and abandoned the game we paid you for just so you can go and make a new game. This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, finish this game first...

And before someone tells me "They are working on it..." Not fast enough for the wealth they accrued off this game. The small studio excuse doesn't work. The truth is they are working on a new game and using most of their resources to do it. They are treating Valheim as an afterthought and it is down right ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

if you make strong claims you also need to provide sources if you want to be taken seriously. this is way to little context

It was in their original funding for this project that this was to fund a different passion project.. The issue is they never finished this after getting so much attention, and money, before splitting their attention elsewhere.

Ok, so you don't have ANY proof.

BTW... you paid for an early access product. The finished product will cost much more.
Also, btw, this current product at a cost of less than 17 Euro has provided me with MUCH more entertainment then most finished triple-A games that cost four times as much.

YMMV, of course.

Someone is having a severe reading comprehension failure and I don't believe it is me.

I've had lots of fun with what is in this game... I'm just tired of waiting well past projected release times for major updates when they became millionaires over night on the viral success of this game. The small studio excuse doesn't work anymore, they've either put most of their focus on the game they originally put this out to fund... or they are pocketing the money instead of growing their company. Either way, not a good look.

You still don't have any proof. And, yes, the boss of IronGate stated that the money was put in the bank, and he's paying himself a standard programmers salary. He's the ONLY one that became a millionaire. Non of his employees did.

They're slow. Granted.

Am I still having fun? Yes. It's done when it's done. I mean, be glad you can at least PLAY the game on your favorite device. I can't, because there's no Mac version and probably never will. *shrug* It is what it is. No point in getting worked up about it.

You had to read a lot of stuff when you accepted to buy this game. Among that was a statement that maybe NO finished game comes out of this.

You signed that when you bought Valheim.

For those of you who haven't seen the original pitch for this game and are not willing to just take my word for it... are you not curious what they did with that viral success money and why they keep riding on the small dev team excuse?

Aaaaand you still don't have ANYTHING substantial.

Again, the boss said he put the money in the bank. Is that so hard to believe? And it is still ONE guy who made the money, not THEY.

Also, if you come from a nation with a hyper-capitalist society, it may be hard to comprehend just how little of the money from all those sales made it into the developer's pocket. We're talking about somewhere in the neighborhood of 10% at best.
