Anyone else fall of this game? (unfortunately)
While I had a great time with the game during the 200 hrs I put into it, the lack of updates and how unfinished the map is once you really start exploring it just left me wanting more. I mean the games been out for half a year and they sold like 8 million copies so they have more money than they can shake a stick at but still no real updates. The numbers of players has went down steeply every month, from a peak of 500,000 to around 30,000
But, maybe it's really just a case of they weren't prepared for the success so they weren't prepared to put out sizable content drops that frequently? I just feel like they missed their window to keep the hype going and I'm not sure if a actual update could get me back into it again, unless it's really something special.
Here's hoping it is and does!!!

6 months, only bug fixes.
I hope they hired people with the millions they made.
Q3 for the update, we will see how big it is.
This 100%, they have the resources (money) to literally do whatever they want, so hopefully they at least moderately staff up, maybe 5-20 more people to keep the team size small and tight. I want nothing more than whatever comes out to be great so I can start playing it again.

Y'all need to read development updates. They are interviewing several candidates for team additions to continue development. Mods should have a copypaste response with a link to the update and lock these threads.

The only way I'm extending my content is through mods. I finished around the same time, 200 + hours.
Only one mod that I can think of is almost like a complete overhaul. It's called, "Do or Die... ". Great Fun! except sometimes in order to actually have a stable game, you have to jump through firey hoops in order to have them install properly.
Once that's done, progression is slower due to it's increased difficulty. If I were to guess, it will take 300hrs.
If basing it on the Ark Survival success they have with world changing mods. I imagine if more mod workers were attracted and the installation made simpler, then the game can be extended nearly indefinitely. Depending on the extra content from the mod making community.

Oh that was just our situation.
Last played Mar 28.
We were ready for Hearth and Home before we stopped.
Clearly they weren't ready for the success or we would have seen an even ramping up of manpower and production.
I don't know a person that money hasn't changed.
Maybe the developers aren't interested in game development anymore, maybe they're into flying-cars now because they have the money to be. And all their new flying-car friends aren't into game development anymore because you know, that's just not them anymore.
Game development is so pedestrian.

Im well aware of the dev updates, Im not saying that they aren't going to release a update. Im bummed they haven't released anything up to this point. You need to read comments and OP before you comment.
They could of been "interviewing candidates" 4 months ago when they'd already sold 5 million copies and made over $50,000,000. And why should anyone lock this thread, too silence us? We're allowed to have conversations even if they aren't singing the praises of a game. That's literally what these boards are for. Can you not handle people talking about a game if it doesn't meet your criteria?

Yeah im complaining cause I love the game and want to play it more, and yes 6 months without a update is a long time. Especially when they sell millions of copies in a couple months. No need to be rude about it.

They're player base has dropped by over 94%, that's dramatic. And bragging about having more than 10 people to play a game is.....good I guess? I mean finding people in a discord isn't exactly hard. And like I said in my post, I want to play more just like you but got tired of waiting, just like damn near their entire player base. The numbers don't lie
