The 349 pages of "actual" posts? I was thankful for the fast reply anyway, if not the sarcastic one.

Well, in all fairness, the answer to your question was actually on the very same page as your question itself...

Not my exact, precisely phrased question but Merry Christmas to you all anyway.

Not my exact, precisely phrased question but Merry Christmas to you all anyway.

"Precisely phrased question:"

Is the latest update going to be released before Xmas (Dec 25th) please?

Post just on same page above said question, with relevant information emphasized and everything after it snipped:

Greetings everyone!
Look! I made the devblog title relevant to its content! See? Not completely hopeless! Anyway, let’s get to it.
Moving to Wrap Update 4.2
The release of Update 4.2 is finally on the horizon with two of the three major events having been completed and work now starting on the big Christmas dinner sequence. While I’m shooting for a release next Thursday, there’s always a fair chance that the holiday season will potentially have some kind of impact on that. One way or another, the update is releasing this year!

Note: Thursday is before Christmas this year, but no guarantees are made.

I still stand by my previous posts, which was answered kindly at first. I wasn't expecting this level of activity still in this thread. What a popular game The Company is. How refreshing.

Westane announced on the Discord it should be out this afternoon (eastern time) if nothing really goes wrong and the Holidays don't really interfere with the last minute polish. We'll know in a few hours.

The Company – Update 4.2

System Updates

  • Update includes one hat!

Oh man, i can't wait to get my hands on the new version!

 

[Larsung]

and and and? is it good? are the new features worth the work?

 

[shadow415]

Is the game still "reworking" or has they finally dealt with all that and are adding content and continuing the story ?

With over a 1,000 Patreons, Westane's probably making a fair bit. It's probably gonna be 'reworking' until he sees numbers starting to dip a bit.

Reworks stopped near the beginning of Summer. The last 4 updates have all furthered the Story as the main concern is finishing Chapter 4 which is nearly finished.

Next year it'll be nothing but content dumps. Serum Endings (Ava Bride for example), Diana and Tasha Serum Reworks, Shop Clerks, etc.

The Thanksgiving update added the Pit and the cousin -- both pretty stand alone. Did it further the chapter at all?

 

[MindsOfficial]

Can't wait for the new update. This is one of the best games out there, together with A Spell For All.

Has there been content? Sure. Story? Not so much. It's been like this for a while now, not enough to say he's milking, but it's definitely been slower.

 

[Larsung]

when will we get the new Version?

Thanksgiving WAS part of the Story for Chapter 4. Soon as you come back for December (In game) you learn about a few things going down soon.

Has there been content? Sure. Story? Not so much. It's been like this for a while now, not enough to say he's milking, but it's definitely been slower.

It's slower due to the addition of Free Play and The Pit but the Story is still being furthered along. This update that just released adds a lot and leads into Christmas while also setting up the finale of Chapter 4.

when will we get the new Version?

Either someone leaks it here or everyone waits until Next Thursday/Friday for the Public Release.
