All I did was point out that the devs need to add way more content to the UE5 version and get it to way more parity
They already have roughly the same amount of content (assuming you mean quests and sex scenes rather than equipment and "equipment"), the problem is that the world for UE5 is much,
much bigger than the world for UE4 so it makes the content look like what Mickey did to this bread:
Due to the difference in scale, UE5 is going to need to have a lot more content than UE4 has in order to not feel empty. And a lot more QA, which is a thing that they've always had issues with. I swear, for every quest they implement there's one right way to complete it and two dozen ways to break it.
before people will do more than briefly check out new stuff whenever it trickles in like twice a damn year.
Four times a year. I ignored it the first time you did this, but they're on a quarterly update schedule. That was the originally advertised update schedule for Steam, and they've been back on that schedule since last June. (In case you don't want to count, that means we got content updates last June, last October, and last December, for a total of three in the last seven months. I'm not going to count the November update because that whole thing was just an early push of some of the content they were working on for the winter update)
It's the same schedule they've been holding for Steam since the game first became available there back in 2021. There were definitely issues tied to holding schedule and UE5's launch. I won't pretend late 2023/early 2024 didn't happen. They pushed the final UE4 build in June, then shared the first UE5 build in July, and then we got nothing more until December and then again last June. Supposedly they were plagued by a rather impressive array of illnesses and technical failures. I'm more inclined to believe them on that now that they've stopped reporting them and returned to providing content as promised than I was when it happened three times in a row like it did.
