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.

I don't know if this recaps the situation accurately, to be honest.

Sounds like the publisher is complaining about some article that's trying to use the game as a reference on why early access can be a bad thing.

I don't see how the gamers are an issue though. They will expect what you tell them to expect, this is something for the publisher to manage, and I don't even think this is a problem for Manor Lords.

All of it just seems like news sites trying to come up with their clicks.
