After fixing the kind of bugs that only appear when you've sold an outrageous number of copies, and probably some refactoring because of at least one of them, the devs now seem focused on Mistlands, which is the next major update.

People who claim they are goofing off are ignorant. Programming a computer barely qualifies as work. After meetings, the worst part is bug-fixing. That's true for dull as dull can be business programming. This is a game. The devs have slogged through bugs and meetings. Now they're having fun. Try to hold them back from writing new content as fast as they can.

When you buy any EA game you have to ask if the game is fun to play now, and my answer is yes. Imho Valheim is worth twenty bucks even if it really was frozen in stasis forever, and it won't be.
