If you believe it to be a nearly abandoned project that doesn't deserve support - what are you doing here, making these threads, complaining and being totally confused about people's happiness and support of Valheim?

Things aren't perfect anywhere. Why not support an early access project you deem worthy of your support and contribute with some positive feedback in that forum?

edit: hmm, it seems you don't even own the game. What's in it to you if buyers remain happy?
I removed the game from my library, Mr. Holmes.

To answer your question though, it's because I've been around since the Steam Greenlight days and have been against the existence of early access games on Steam from the start. I'm allowed to be curious, especially when it's regarding something I've been vocal about for a long time. I don't see where I'm complaining, so I can't tell you why I'm complaining, sorry. Unfortunately, Steam has migrated to a place where early access is the norm, so of course I own a few EA titles; but most of them are out of EA by now, since that is the goal (or at least, should be) of every EA dev team.

I don't see an issue with asking a community supporting people blatantly taking advantage of them why they are so willing to be used.

You want complaining though? Personally, I can't think of a single dev team that took my money and used it to purchase a horse. Take that as you will, but to me it's a slap in the face.
