Taleworlds could have extended release time but they didnt because players pressured to crew for the game. I think 8 years is very long time, but we dont know the business' inner face like crew problems, financial problems. Also the game is in early access so there is no necessary to criticize the game. Just wait for updates. they proved so many things in M&B Warband so I have no doubt against Taleworlds. If you criticize the game's missing, you should wait for full version.
