You are not totally wrong i guess, but most people are not as rational as this. When something does not work as intended or hoped, emotions come into play. Rapping up such an amount of playtime includes the hope to find bugs or be able to change something for the better in the next patch, up to the finished game.

So keeping content from players that willingly bought an unfinished game to help making the release sucessfull, is counterproductive. Larian has a lot of willing and paying gametesters with expierience of the D&D ruleset and lore on its hands and they hardly use them.

That way a lot of sugesstions and bugs will stay in the game at release which in turn will make part of the players be unhappy and stop playing. And also beeing more careful with future larian games or EAs.

In one thing i totally disagree:

New content will not burn out or spoil anything here. Why would it? Most of the players here WANT to be part of the development. I have never seen such a busy forum for an EA game with such a low amount of content. I do not understand how the risks cannot be obvious. It has happened to developers more than once

in the past. And always you read later "had they done this" " had they better communicated". No delveloper seems to really learn overmuch from that.


And going to play other games due to lack of new expieriences can also lead to loss of players. There will be some that do not come back. And if you say "let them leave" you have understood nothing.
