Manor Lords is early access. At least one patch is to be expected. And of course the publisher is absolutely right. If my memory serves me well one dev developed the game all on his own so far and the challenge of meeting expectations after being a massive success is huge. Hiring more people to get developments going is likely necessary but expanding takes time. Some players have unrealistic expectations in general but even more so when it comes to small indie productions.
Seems to be a broken clock working twice a day scenario. It sounds convincing and I believe the general statement to be correct but they wouldn’t have made this observation if their own AI efforts didn’t fall so short. They‘re seeing silicon valley raising massive amounts of money and become angsty.
Long story short Baidu is full of crap but they make the correct claim here because it serves them.
