Agreed. I personally think TW has done a great job with updates and early access release.
If not legal troubles platforms like Steam or Kickstarter can always take action. There are reasons to finish a game and for gamers to expect what they were sold.
Ok. If they did that there would be no more obligation.
If they sold a game as early access on promised features and then closed shop before delivering promised that is basically fraud. Fly by night charlatans operate that way. There are consumer protection laws in some countries that would protect buyers from practices like this. Ubisoft and EA have been in trouble in Australia a few times because of it.
I think that would be fraud or at least probably break some laws. Possibly a lawsuit if a dev did something like that or maybe being barred from using Steam.
Well paying customers are entitled to a product as advertised. But was it advertised as being updated every week?
Ok. Fair points. I'm not a fan of roadmaps or fixed schedules for developers as it makes them focus only on specific promises and rushes testing and implementation and that often leads to bugs and halfassed features and fixes.
