Perhaps instead of investing so much time into conspiracies you should take the previous advice and educate yourself on the matters regarding small companies getting a ton of money due to streamer hype and what ways they can respond to such investments.

One would have to gain knowledge of their development time before the game was released to Early Access to get a better idea when it comes to scaling time in development and content releases. Getting a lot of money during a Global Pandemic where they'd have to hire more people, train them, possibly look for an actual facility / office unless they are working remotely in which case there would need to be IT difficulties to overcome while at the same time continuing to work on the game enough for come out with valid content releases to please the masses...

Yea I'd cut them some slack. Those who invest in an Early Access product bear some of the responsibility when it comes to understanding that investing in an unfinished product will take time for completion and changes may not be to their liking in the end. It's a risk or gamble and if you can't handle that then you are better off wish listing early access games and buying them sometime after they fully release. Whining and throwing baseless accusations isn't going to make things go faster - if anything it would add more stress for the developers which could negatively impact the quality/quantity of work.
