If that is the case, I do wish they'd be straight up about it. While I'm sure a lot of people would be pissed about it, the transparency would be appreciated.
being transparent would cost them that 10k+ a month of people waiting for some sliver of hope lol this update better be good for 13+ months. not that the community will ever hold popular devs accountable though

By now it’s become pretty obvious that they completely overestimated themselves with that “95% done” statement from about two months ago. This latest report makes that clear at the latest. While I’d still like to see them at least throw out some numbers again, things are at least starting to look a bit clearer — even if it’s still somewhat unsatisfying.

I think it’s purely tactical that they’re no longer sharing numbers (like how many renders or animations there are), because doing so would either fuel more negativity — “WHAT? That’s all?” — or they might actually be able to create a surprise effect with the finished update in terms of numbers. Of course, that’s all pure speculation.

It definitely doesn’t read like pure polishing work anymore after that supposed 95% mark (where the update is basically done with only 5% polishing/testing left). They probably assumed they were “finished,” looked at the overall build, and realized it felt too underwhelming or incomplete. So they went back to creating more content/renders, etc. That would be my hypothesis for this somewhat drawn-out “chewing gum effect.”

And honestly? Even though the wait is long, I’d be willing to accept it — at least if they’ve learned from last year’s underwhelming update and are now putting in extra work to deliver something more satisfying this time around.
Yeah, after what happened in the last update where peoples main complain was "that's it?", it's looks like they're being way more careful this time. At least I'd hope they are and making sure to have a sizeable chunk of content this go around.

People are gonna pay for what they want to pay for. Nothing we can do to stop them, really.

Finished going from zero to end of release a few days ago and keep meaning to post about it. I usually like to point out things I see that are amusing, confusing, etc.

This must be an exceedingly strict thread considering what got removed. Same guy as a very popular HS2 VN that visits what might be alternate realities?

Yep, after one month following the update of 1/3 of posts involving jokes mocking the animation of the toaster, mods came to the conclusion as the sarcastic whining wouldn't stop that this constant toxic circle-jerking wasn't for the better good of the discussion.
