There will be a day that updates will come to an end, that's when players will really be sad. I'd appreciate players to give positive feedback about the game and polite responses to bugs, people respond better when they are treated with respect. "Larian" just may give up one day for all the negative feedback.
Do they own anything to the community e.g. clear communication what their plans are? No. Are other companies doing a lot better regarding community communication? Absolutely yes. Will this behhaviour have repercussions down the line? Probably. My best guess is, a lot of people will never pre-order a Larian game again. At least I will not do.
I'm aware that Larian doesn't owe anything to its community. However it's a bit rich for them to
brag at awards shows that they encourage devs to build a community in-order to make money and then undermine it by treating that community like it doesn't exist after the game releases. I wish they'd take a break from the awards circuit and address their community for once it's getting tiresome watching them pay lip service.
Like I said before I'm not asking nor encouraging Larian to adjust their release strategy whatsoever. I just want them to address the community finally and just give us a heads up. I don't think that's too much to ask.
