Pretty sure it’s not industry standard to tease announcements for an event to reveal an EA patch. New titles or expansions, yes. Considering we’ve paid full price to be part of this EA experience, having the only real communications come in the form of trumpeted events is a huge let-down, and not how Larian have done it historically either.
You left out you actually paid the full price for the full game. Playing early, getting an opportunity to influence the development even in the slightest, while also supporting a good up-and-coming developer is what you get back for paying early. Feeling hugely let down by somewhat lackluster communication just as Larian announce another panel event speaks more about entitlement issues than any failing on Larian's part imo.
that word has lost all meaning. "omg, you paid for a product and expect something? You're sooo entitled" It's ridiculous. Yes, technically we don't have any "right" to know what's going on behind the scenes, but yikes, a lot of EAs pride themselves on this idea that "hey, we're building the game while you watch" kind of vibe, which includes communication like "Hey, here is our weekly update about what we're working on". It's not entitled to be disappointed when that doesn't happen. It's like if most of the Mcdonalds you visit let you have free refills and suddenly one doesn't, you're not entitled for being disappointed. You're just disappointed, and that's OKAY, just as it's okay for that Mcdonalds not to give you free refills.
