How would making 3 bad games give you an understanding of what goes into making a good game?

Anyhow, all of your ranting points have come up before.

• Hiring more people doesn't work like you think it does for a bunch of reasons I'm not interested in rehashing.
  
• The roadmap was indefinitely suspended for reasons I don't remember, source: a link I can't be bothered finding.
  
• Their main reason for delay was, I believe, not covid but in fact the unexpected popularity of the game highlighting many more bugs than they thought - those took focus off of content and into fixing the core of the game.
  
• A roadmap is not and cannot be a guarantee, for the simple reason that ♥♥♥♥ happens. This angst is also why, presumably, they haven't gone back to a roadmap - and why, I believe, Steam no longer allows such roadmaps as it infers false promises.
  
• They didn't go radio silent, clearly you haven't been paying attention and/or didn't bother searching before ranting. I get it, I really do, but if you cbf looking before posting try a better attitude and asking what happened - instead of getting angry about what you imagine happened.

Did I cover all your points? I think I covered all your points.
