Well, this update sadly confirms it for me... Both of Oceans games will never be finished and abandoned maybe within 2 years from now on. I was a fan of his work and supporter too for a while. But he rewrote both games completely to something he didnt inteted to write in the first place. If you do that just to not get banned by patreon/Steam/whatever your project is doomed. To create something like those games, you have to passionate about it, and it has to be entirely up to you what you create and write. It is not anymore, so at some point Ocean will not care anymore, or he already reached that point. 2 years now for Summers gone without really new content, one and a half for this one. I thought, yeah maybe its worth the wait and after those updates he will work faster on the games and such...
but thats naive. my patreon support was canceled a year ago, subscribstar too, cause i lost complete faith.
This update confirms it. Its long and high quality yes but not enough content worth the wait, and its not the sotry Ocean once created, its a complete turn around. Its not the game Ocean wanted to create, and i cant think of any scenario where he will get passionate about a project he doesnt really want to make in the first place anymore.
Summers Gone had its changes too, but they are not that significant. Ocean changed most of it because he really wanted too (the initial darker approach for example, and that he changed that was entirely his choice because he didnt felt it anymore) WitB is an entirely different game now with this update, and most of it wasnt something Ocean wanted to change... he is just afraid to get banned from Steam and so on.
WitB isnt running that successful either compared to SG, so it will get abandoned first i guess... but SG will follow. Soonish... i wouldnt even bet on another update for either of his games... (well SG will get one soon, but not antoher one after that i think)
