Yeah, that's part of the reason I'm not as enthusiastic about the game as I have been; not so much the lack of 'story' per se as the lack of any forward momentum involving the MC. Where the first few updates actually involved the MC actively in the 'real' world, the past few years have been a lot of reading other people's memories, creeping on their dreams, or doing nonconsequential holodeck missions divorced from the real characters surrounding him (the last update with the shifter being an obvious exception).
Looking at the update schedule you just posted, I see a lot of dreams, a lot of holodeck simulations, and very little of anything actually happening in the real world. No shade on the people who enjoy that, I just find it tedious.
