And the game wasn't even released three years ago?!
I know all the shutdowns and whatnot because of a global pandemic can cause a different perception of time but >3yrs in <2,5yrs? Can I have your time machine?

But In general I agree - they should have waited with the external XBOX conversion/dev team until the first non EA release on Steam (or at least wait with the XBOX release until all the major bugs - world gen - are fixed).
