Yes I get that feeling as well. Even many die hards seem to have woken up and are more choosy about their purchases rather than buying up everything day one or even waiting for discounts. There are many who really like TSW3 and many who hate it. Interesting contrast that DTG has created for themselves. The minority seems to be the middle ground voices. As a mostly casual player myself, I still play TSW2 (quite a bit this week in fact) as it runs the best for me. So for me it's not that I hate the game, it's just frustrating to see a developer shoot itself in the foot repeatedly while smiling politely to the crowd as if there's nothing to see here. I wish them the best if they choose to turn things around. It will take a monumental effort to regain the trust of their past customers though. Let's wait and see what the future brings.
So in the end, DTG got what they wanted from you. Postpone the TSW2 updates to infinity, so the people who did not want to buy TSW3 (for whatever reasons, there are many possible reasons) but want to have a fixed game, will buy TSW3. A shameful tactic, but one which (sadly) provides much money.
Update ? What update? It's "no longer" on the roadmap.... Do like everyone else, give them more money and buy TSW3 super bug & co.
I don't think theTSW2 updates will ever be released. My guess is that they will drag it out for a few more months with various tempting bundle offers and then give TSW3 away free to all TSW 2 owners. By then 99% of people will have already bought TSW3. The "lost" sales income will be less than the time costs of actually releasing the fixes. No doubt this will provide the opportunity for marketing department will go into overdrive telling us all how generous and wonderful DTG are and all mention of broken promises will just be ignored.
Exactly. Dangle the TSW2 route fixes "hey they're over here behind our useless paywall! Come and get it!". Yeah, no thanks.
