What would constitute a "relevant update" in your opinion? The entire game 110% completed? LoQOO has been making progress over the years. Sometimes frustratingly slow progress (first started playing back when I was still in college over 10 years ago), but progress is being made, updates are released regularly and there are weekly updates.
I think you have no idea what a scammer is TBH.
I mean, I love LoQO as much as the next guy maybe even more than the next guy, but I do admit some issue with "progress" vs Actual Progress, the last actual story progress was the long await Duchess Mansion and that was pretty much wrapped up in one cutscene. Meanwhile the past year has been mostly been adding the fishing minigame, the monster catching for the circus, and now the Eminent Quartet, which while fun, was not really asked for, especially the fishing, that could have waited for the post story episode or the Gold Edition, the Quartet too, is planned to be basically an in world sprite sex gallery, and the circus monster catching is the prototype for SweGabe next game, again nice to see what can be done but nicer to see it done after the story and the game is out.
As far as Story goes, on paper it does look like only two "arcs" left, what is next is getting a ship, then sailing to where the evil Emperor Crayden is, beating him, and then with his plan ruined, then it's the Snake Gods arc, find her hideout and beat her too and that's the story finished.
After the Duchess Mansion though, I can't see it being satisfying, unless we wait years more to flesh out the arcs properly.
