It's not a live service game but it's an early access game that released at the beginning of the year with a roadmap of 4 major content updates this year of which none have been released yet. With how much the game sold, they should have the money to hire additional staff as clearly over half a year for a tiny update is just too long. Let's hope they are already working on the mistlands update so that it doesn't taker another year for that update to drop.
