Don't get me wrong, I got 150 hours out of it and got my money's worth and then some.
But they did get millions of dollars upon release, and they shan't be getting too too many more players overtime.

But all the updates they've released have been teeny tiny bug fixes, in like 4 months of work.

Now they gut the roadmap, which we all saw coming. Hearth and home's additions are like, a few new foods and a single darker tileset for buildings.

It seems obvious to me that some of them took the money and ran and whoever is left is doing what they can, or is just keeping it afloat for now.
