Yep, you’re right (in my opinion) - Conan Exiles + bugs certainly beats most of the current and past games offerings. It has been going for six years (seven counting early-access when many started playing), is still getting content added, is still challenging, and still fun. And when people get bored with the vanilla game they can always choose modded (modding community are astoundingly creative!).
Players get quite worked up about games. They are just games. New games coming out seem to be hitting similar, same, and worse issues that Conan has experienced.
There still doesn’t appear to be a magic bullet for game genres like this that keeps connections, memory, multi-thread processing, cross-platforming, older PCs, laptops, consoles, etc, glitching, macro-glitching, bug exploits, la-a-a-a-a-a-ging, etc from being issues. One of the players on the server I generally play on has a beast, high end PC. They get almost no issues playing, which is very annoying. I occasionally get glitches, and another on same server has now quit the game because of the lagging from their part of the world. One of the other players quit because she streams content and says she has to feed the kids so has to keep moving to whatever else is new.
But it is just a game.
