I dont get why people defend the current state of the game. When i see what a modder can pull up in his spare time and compare it to the updates we got the last year... uff i dont know how u can argue they care alot about this game. The roadmap was ambitious i get it but this game feels abandoned. And yeah money helps cause it solves problems so u can focus around ur task. I dont know how the game devs think about Valheim and so do u. We all speculate but the majority is angry and i think they have a reason to be.

I don't get why people continue to complain about it.. complaining, whining, throwing a fit... none of that will change a single thing in re this game, regardless of what works in someone's personal life.

Modders make small changes (usually) to an existing framework, there is a freakton of code that they don't have to develop, write, and debug. Also most modders work alone - a single programmer has a higher productivity than a team member - doesn't have to please anyone else or explain an odd section of code to another.

On top of all that, if you are used to the US style of hyper-capitalism and culture; the environment in which the developers work is very different and likely unfamiliar to you. So it seems slow perhaps because they don't have a shop full of wage-slaves pounding out code on salary but with overtime hours. They are not slaves to the grind.

I do not believe for one second that the majority, or even a significantly large minority of people who have purchased Valheim in EA are angry. The only place I ever see any acting angry about it is here.
