Anyway, hopeful, not expectant. There's a bit of playability/re-playability and it is a game you can leave and come back in 6 months. So it'll work whatever they do, as long as it keeps getting updates/expanded (at whatever pace) I am happy.

Valheim is not an MMORPG. It's success doesn't depend on hype. Apparently though most of today's playerbase seems to think a games success depends solely on hype and the graphics. Sad times we live in.

When they need 5-10 years to finish the game.. but got the majority of income within the first year something will surely go hella wrong. This isnt the kind of a game where they just get infinite funds to keep developing it.

I think thats why some people get a lil bit nervous when there is next to none improvements over the months.

It's not like they are like CoffeeStain.. which has more projects than only the eternal early access game Satisfactory.. and acts like some kind of publisher, hell they even make money with this one without doing much.

Iron Gate will surely discover how expensive and hard stuff can get when you need a decade to finish the only project you are working on without getting a steady stream of money.

Lets just hope the millions they did will be enough for them to actually finish the game without weird shenanigans.
