Yeah, you're prone to having one of the biggest drops when you've got one of the biggest peaks. What a garbage article.
NO IT'S NOT. The only thing it's on them to do is to finish it. They sell the game for $30, and this is not a live service game. They don't need to keep anyone hooked.
I mean, as it stands now, there's no gameplay other than "build up base", "collect all monsters" and "level up". End game is non-existent. It needs something more or it absolutely will die. There's been a million open world survival games that have come and gone for the same reason. This very well could just be a flash in the pan, largely held up by hype more than anything.
You are right, but is it any different for games like Ark, Conan, VRising, Rust or any other sandbox builder focused on multiplayer? It's always just a farm-build-collect-repeat cycle. It's why I get bored of them easily at least, the only games in that genre that can usually keep my attention are Factorio and Valheim.
