Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that ‘easy’ additions and updates are sometimes really hard: ‘That’s half a year’s work. That takes six months’

So then why don’t they have regular bulletins in their games showing ‘Look, look! These features will be coming by xx/xx/xxxx!’ ?

Things set the timeline back? ‘Oh no! Looks like we won’t be releasing this on that date, it will actually be this date!’

Seems like a non issue for anyone with a 6th graders capacity for interacting with other humans. These are IT folks, with the added layer of gamers to boot — though. Anticipating motivations and responding to others input isn’t exactly a strong suit.

Edit: oh, beyond that — I have very little sympathy for a developer of a content drip. You’re out for the money, don’t whine when people inevitably get sick of waiting for a little more of something they’ve already gotten maximum enjoyment out of.

Try telling your users (who are gamers) that the feature they want is being pushed back. See how well they’ll react.
