Well, I mean, I would have launched it first (as an AAA game), but I'm no game developer. 🤷 And neither are they, from the looks of it. Good at perpetually raking in money for himself and his family, though!

Yeah, maybe. But it's also ridiculous, finish what you have instead of constantly bolting on scope to keep the sales treadmill running.

Of course, it's a business first and foremost. And if that's what people gladly pay for, no fault in pocketing the money I guess.

Except scope hasn't really changed in years? I might be wrong since I'm not trawling through every single piece of content released but I'm pretty sure most of the expansions are related to CIG figuring out details of already promised features.

I'm sure someone following the game closer can provide more details on that.
