TL;DR:

They apologized (again)
They will refund everyone who bought the beach DLC and make it a free addition to the game, admitting it was tasteless that they made paid DLC when the game is in a broken state
They will focus on base changes and better modding tools before starting to make more DLC (previously announced DLC has been delayed to 2025)
Console release delayed

Honestly, this is a good update. It's everything we wanted to hear. Looking forward to buying the game when it gets fixed.

The new generation? I remember this stuff happening 15 years ago. People were camping outside before big game releases and had an incentive to ensure they got a copy of the game. The new generation that only buys digital is not to blame for the practice taking hold.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I didn't define the new generation, but in my mind people since the 80s are the new generation to me (I'm old). And you're right, camping a store to buy something you never saw is of course the issue. And in my country, people buy a house before it's even built, and that's also an issue that is common in this 'new generation'. So, this new generation tends to accept that buying something without seeing it is alright, and the gaming industry reflects that.

The new generation?

In relation to who you were replying to, I think 'new' is in the eye of the beholder. Time is relative.
