And they beat Skyrim by 2 years!

Well this is an unnecessary add-on that I'll totally try later.

From someone who started on day 1, the water and the game looks and feels vastly different/better.

I have been playing this game relentlessly for many weeks now. I wish I understood how to do glitch building cause some of those builds look cool af!

Check out Beeblebum, he has some of the best guides on glitch building. https://youtu.be/FurKLVb534A

Xaine's world also has macro timings for the various build glitches if you want to go that route. https://www.xainesworld.com/glitching/

Beeblebum is the video source I tried to use. I just couldn't follow the angels and axis stuff. I'll figure it out eventually. Something just isn't clicking. It's likely a "me" problem.

I'll check out the second video recommendation. Thanks!

Damn. Already??? Tbh I'm especially excited about that cute little cockpit octopus

I'm seriously wondering how they're still pumping out substantial updates for free.

Are they just getting by with new sales by keeping the game in the eyes of new consumers?

I'm not complaining but they've done a full 180 since release and it's like they keep trying to make up for it and then some.

I think you underestimate how much money they made in sales from the first year alone, enough to finance a reasonably run studio for years.

They likely have other sources of investment too, maybe publishing deals and private investors.

AAA developers and publishers have brainwashed people into thinking that MTX and subscriptions is necessary for continued development, its never been true it's onky greed.

They made a whole bunch of unrealistic promises before launch and were taken to court over it there only real defense was “we never said when we would be finished” so they might be sudo legally obligated to give every single unrealistic thing they promised or at least that was definitely how it started and nobody ever told them they could stop so they kept doing it.
