I def think you are totally incorrect in the game going backwards, I will admit though I am slightly concerned that the game is falling into the same trap several other games have done where, it is taking them a long time to get content out... they DO really need to ramp up the speed or they are going to loss their play base. I will say of the three massive Valheim discords I am in.. they are all dying.. they have gone quite and there's just not content for people to make. Are they going backwards and is this a different game? No. Do they need to speed up content drops, that I will say yes to.
