    This article is about manor lords, an indie solo dev who released their game into early access and in 2.5 months hasn’t released a groundshaking perfect version. Whoever is complaining about the speed of development should be ignored.

    As for others who have yet to release a game but are being pushed by the publisher to hurry up and get it out are an entirely different matter.

    For the article, I like to look to games like terraria, which took quite a long time between patches, and honestly said they were completely done patching the game and the patched it a few more times. People may lose interest for a bit, but each large patch will bring people back as long as it was a good game.
