I am no longer optimistic. The last time I paid to alpha/beta test a game and got long streaks of radio silence interrupted by infrequent, anemic patches I got Warcraft III Reforged.
I try to hold a fragment of hope, but I'm preparing for a dumpster fire (probably ignited by a barrelmancer).
Let the upcoming update speak for itself. Also keep in mind that Larian is still getting 3k-4k players a day so their feedback stream hasn't stopped even though I reckon most people here quit by now.
There are some big titles coming up soon so I think Larian doesn't expect us to stick around, especially if they are not updating their game regularly. But still, I think the main issue is not exactly on their hands. The country lockdown they've been going through right now doesn't help much with development and setting up update videos or pushing content.
