Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now (www.eurogamer.net)

This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don't like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it.

But by now gamers have been so trained to expect to endless content treadmills and all their ilk like mtx and battle passes that publishers/developers get egged on if they don't work on their game 24/7 and forever.

And yet if you go in the MC community, one of the most common complaints people have is that the updates are never enough and the Devs are lazy etc... I guess this goes to the point of this article, people can easily be trained to have unrealistic expectations.

Tbh I think a big part of the problem is Mojang's failure to communicate with it's players, less so the lack of features being added.

I don't know, they have an annual event, affiliate youtubers who distill the news as they come, "leakers" on twitter. You can't really expect a studio to pull a 1.16 every year, but short of that it seems there is no way to please the MC community.
