Instead they try to respond to the community by releasing features and fixes. It's just that, no matter how hard they work now, the developers cannot meet expectations raised by flawed or lack of communication and a premature release ("17000 endings", "everything is in the game as planned long time ago"). In fact it's backfiring hard as serious bugs are released with every patch.
I watched a Mortismal "100% Review" vid earlier and he addressed the '17,000 endings' - he reckoned there were about "half a dozen" endings.
I'm reminded of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novel Moving Pictures with its "1,000 elephants" which is a nod to Cecile B De Mille's "100 camels".
