Why are developers focused on bug fixes rather then adding content?

[musashii89]

You know, if they were adding content instead of fixing bugs this thread title would read

"why are the developers focused on new content instead of fixing game-breaking bugs?"

Quite simply they dont seem to be doing enough to be considered 'acting professionally' by a growing number of players

It can both be true that fixing bugs first is better but it would help if the bug squashing time from report to implemented fix was shorter

Development teams do both at the same time, writing new code and fixing the old one. It's not one or the other. Taleworlds is not a single autistic person who can do one thing at a time.
If your favorite bug isn't fixed for a long time and you think this is inexplicable, it could be that they were planning to rewrite that piece of code from scratch (programmers love this), but they didn't get around to it YET. This in practice is a silly excuse, but people keep making it so they won't need to fix things. Or the person who is supposed to do this has other critical tasks, and others are incompetent or good at avoiding chores like bugfixing. Or each one of the devs is simply evil and doesn't care about your feelings.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for this reply.I was just wondering if they are only focusing on fixing bugs or they acctualy make new content.I also have a question though,why don't they make big updates like Satisfactory does and then focus on bugs and then repeat?

They're adding more Looters to the map.

Wouldn't it be better to add some more content at this point, let mods flesh out some of the minor bugs. Then start working on bugs again?

Yes it would be, (though I don't think it's modders job to fix bugs either)
Most people have left the SP game due to economy problems, snowballing, broken/non-existent kingdom management and diplomacy and broken/non-existent storyline. Not bugs.
