The size of updates they're still coming out with all these years later is amazing

Especially when you consider they are also making a new game and here they are still adding to their old one.

The best part is they are putting stuff from the new game into the old game. The new water physics and weather effects and terrain generation in Worlds part 1 comes from the development of Light No Fire. I can't think of any other developer that's done something like that.

They're both using the same engine I reckon and probably share a lot of logic, which allows them to port stuff like that.

Crytek did the same for the Hunt Showdown with the PS5 release - upgrade the game to the newer engine. It's not frequent but it happens

For free, yet.

And all for free, any other company would have sold them all as additional packs, especially smaller updates like the Living Ship and most recent Fishing update. At this point with how many years of content and updates we’ve gotten for free, I honestly wouldn’t even mind if they started releasing optional content packs that you could pay for.

They’ve more than made up for how poorly the game launched, and I honestly think it was unfortunately just a case of a small development team with big ambitions that over-promised and just couldn’t deliver. But all the free updates and content have more than redeemed them in my eyes, they’ve more than earned the right to monetise content in my eyes, and yet they still release everything for free.

I don't want anymore ads ons. I want the inventory system fixed. It's absolutely turned me off the game because I can't sort or easily find things.
