Don't like their decent rate of updates? Then stop buying Early Access.

sure! but part of the reason I bought this EA is because there is a certain road map they posted (which is 5-10 times more contents than this)

5-10 times more contents without a specific time frame. The stuff in the original road map is still coming, but they no longer say exactly what each major update consists of. This is the result of the game being more popular than they originally anticipated. Thus, allowing the downpour of bug reports and Unity-based crashes.

Think about it. Let's say my brother and I created a small cafe that has 10 tables for up to 30 people. Our Brothers Donut Glaze became an overnight sensation. Now instead of serving 100-200 customers per week, we get 1,000 customers who demand the Brothers Donut Glaze. So our original idea to get Maple Glaze, Boston Cream, and Strawberry Pudding is out the door. Also, people have stated that Donut Glaze tastes funny sometimes. So we have to find the problem for that too.

Etc.

And before anyone says they should hire more staff. They did.

@Lecherous Lychee: THIS. This, right here. Game hasn't even been out for a year, it started with absolutely nothing. Zip. They're a "Garage Corp" that has been forced to expand rapidly and deal with issues they thought they could hammer out as they cranked along.

Not even a year into, what is this? Late Alpha? Early Beta? Mid Beta? Not even one year into that and people are screaming for moar-moar-moar, now-now-now. It takes YEARS to develop a game. F-ing years.

People need to chill and learn some patience. It could take four, five, six more years before this game is officially "Released" as a polished, finished product. If ever. That could happen too.

The entitlement is unreal these days.

I see it everywhere. even finished games. Some entitled pr@#k thinks he has an idea and the devs should drop everything and implement it. I learned really early when coming to steam (I had no previous knowledge of EA games) that a game takes about 4-5 years to fully develop with these smaller companies.

I love buying ea games. I love watching the games grow. I been burned 1X (TDL) I watched one go through a whole dev/publisher sell remake. Savage Lands ( it turned out Okay) and I have 3500+ hours in one of my favs. Dayz.

Some people should just not be aloud to buy ea games because they are to stupid or impatient to understand the time frame. I have hundreds of hours into most of my ea games. I will play the crap outta new patches and get bored, put away to next patch and repeat. I literally pay pennies an hour for good solid entertainment. You can not get that sort of deal anywhere.
