Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher

Manor Lords' publisher has hit back at claims the game is an "interesting case study in the pitfalls of early access", …

This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don’t like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it.

But by now gamers have been so trained to expect to endless content treadmills and all their ilk like mtx and battle passes that publishers/developers get egged on if they don’t work on their game 24/7 and forever.

I probably spent 150 hours just driving around the Top Gear track in reasonably priced cars.

That’s fine, because you don’t seem like you find it boring yet

Users find the weirdest bugs. Figuring out what happened makes me feel like Sherlock Holmes.

and they get offended if you tell them to go play a different game, then.

Cause some of these idiots out there, I swear to god, act like the game they are currently playing is the only game in the world, until the next new hotness that catches their attention comes out, then that will be the only game in the world.

No wonder this shit isn’t sustainable. I play standalone indie boomer shooters and 100 hours would mean high praise from me.

Vegas is still a fantastic game 14 years later. Not many games have that kind of holding power.

I hope you have a fantastic journey through it :D wish I could play it for the first time again.

Haha yeah, I feel the same way about many great games I’ve played over the years
