When you've been in 'beta' for several years, is this even news? They seem to just try to use it as a tactic for free sales bumps when needed.
Uh nope. If you followed satisfactory then you'd know that's absolutely not true. They've continuously added features, worked with the community, and now they're finally publishing the finished polished product.
With all the hate companies for being in perma EA, you'd think gamers would be happy when games leave EA. Nope, apparently gamers are just mad no matter what.
While I agree with you here that Coffee Stain is a shining example of what EA should be and how it should be utilized, I think you can also understand OPs cynicism given the state of affairs. I don't think it's entirely fair to jump straight "to all gamers are mad no matter what" but I certainly empathize with your frustrations regarding the apparently implacable nature of the community.
My intention is not to tone police, I just think conversations like these would be more productive if they were less antagonistic.
