You mean the one they posted and linked in the announcements forum?

Yes, maybe you didn’t noticed but i have posted it way earlier, what’s point of your taunt?

No, as a matter of fact, I didn’t notice that. Now it makes more sense.

Not a taunt. I was pointing out that they already published it on the forums, where we can use it for easy quotes. Didn’t realize your topic preceded theirs.

Thanks for sharing it here for discussion.

It is good that he acknowledged ongoing performance issues and seem to be working on them. Unfortunately, there are no testing options for the platforms most in need of this attention.

This one wonders, does the PC crowd generally consider the stated intent to give modders more forward time ahead of patches as a significant nod towards their particular concerns? Is this a statement we have heard before? This one recalls there was some concern over how little time was available for prominent mods to update.

Who are the new streamers?
This one has noticed the Conan content on those they watch has dropped off rather than increased of late. Even with their featured creator list, a couple of those seem to be sniffing around other games.

Overall, seems fairly standard for a producer letter.
Which is basically a pat on their own back with a nod to only the most egregious of issues. Not an insult, just noting it is middle of the road status quo/industry standard.

This one had hoped there would have been some talk about how flush they are with money now that the Bazaar is in full operation. How successful the monetization was… Or offering that the quality control would be tightened a bit. Instead it’s just noting the quibbles over price and pretense that the Battle Pass rewards that cost only time rather than money are something to write home about. If the only thing to be said about monetization in review is that they’ll look at other games… Well, that’s not promising. Are they looking at other Survival games? Boomer shooters? PvP Battle Royales? Building Simulators? Fortnite? Valheim? Sims? What even are this game’s market peers? Ark? Day Z? Rust?
No enthusiasm about what was offered for sale, no mention of advantages to the current Bazaar model (of which there are several, regardless of whether this one finds them the most significant). Ayesh, hype your own product a little.

But this one is cranky and probably being overly harsh or cynical.
