Game Update Frequency

[MaxImumVerStap]

Hey everyone, I was wondering how often you like to see your favourite games getting updates. Would you rather like one big one every month or two or have a few smaller ones in the month.

Personally I like to see like 2 or 3 smaller ones a month even if they only have bug fixes and some added skins or little things etc or even if it's part of a bigger update added in sections

I feel like when it's one big update it's like your waiting for that and no matter how big it is you can get through it all in a day and then you have to wait ages, atheist if it's every like 10-15 days you don't have to wait long for you next thing

I made a similar thread a few months back. Seems like people don't mind waiting a few months. But yeah, small sample size.

Damn I was thinking people would want atleast 2 a month but people seem happy with one, yeh small sample size so I'll see what people say here would be nice to know

I honestly don't care how long they take. I'm currently playing about 70 different games. Some of them update every month others we've been waiting for 1 year+ > At the end of the day i'm not paying for most of them so i really don't care how long it takes (as long as they don't get abandoned)

I do monthly updates with a decent amount of content by my standards. About 40k words in each update. It's a text game, so by those standards that's merely a decent amount, I suppose.

I'm satisfied with my current pace, considering I can only dedicate my free time to my game.

The benefits of having a complete and stable framework: You can just focus on content/implementing new stuff into the game.

What matter for me is the amount of content added by each update.

I don't care waiting five months or more, as long as I get enough content (both in terms of length than it terms of quality) to justify this wait.
What also imply that I'll skip updates if you go for a one month (or less) release schedule. Precisely because if I play them all, I'll feel that I wasted my time ; downloading then installing the update feeling, when not effectively being, longer than playing it.
There's obviously exception to this, like by example text games, that can have a big amount of content added in a single week.

Depends on the content. I'd rather have one meaningful update than 5 minutes of content every week.

Only update if you're going to give me more mom fucking.

once with a fairly decent content haul, lets say about 4-6%
