TL;DR:

They apologized (again)
They will refund everyone who bought the beach DLC and make it a free addition to the game, admitting it was tasteless that they made paid DLC when the game is in a broken state
They will focus on base changes and better modding tools before starting to make more DLC (previously announced DLC has been delayed to 2025)
Console release delayed

Honestly, this is a good update. It's everything we wanted to hear. Looking forward to buying the game when it gets fixed.

You're looking for an argument that I'm not interested in, and it's not what this conversation was about. Paradox sure looks like it released some games early, knowing that they were underbaked, because they couldn't feasibly keep delaying them to give them the time they needed. We can agree to disagree there and go our separate ways.

Going to leave it with this...

You’re looking for an argument that I’m not interested in, and it’s not what this conversation was about.

You're purposely not answering the point of the conversation, and trying to label it otherwise is not an answer in and of itself.

The conversation was about healthy corporations focusing on short-term profits or not. Not one game company who's unhealthy focusing on short-term profits.

I don’t see healthy companies sacrifice their long term fan base and development throughput for short term gains.

New to Capitalism?

No, hence my conclusions.

You’ve never seen a corporation sacrifice its long-term health to report short-term profits, to meet an upcoming quarterly report?

Ever?

I’ve never seen one I would call healthy.
