Devs: What is with this insane update policy? Do you actually do work between updates? Is your media team the issue?

[Alastor]

When a game gets an update, in general, one would expect fixes to be rolled out on a consistent basis. However, for some bizarre reason, we only get 1 main update per month(Which is fine), but then we get, at most, 2 "hotfix" updates right after each major update. WTF is going on. You NEED to release updates for bug fixes AS THEY BECOME FIXED. It looks like all of your focus is meeting your roadmap requirements instead of focusing on existing issues. You need to STOP new feature development until your major bug fixes are complete. This is absolutely ridiculous for a large company like Frontier. Do you folks only have like 3 or 4 devs? Because that would be the ONLY way this would be acceptable, and in that case, you need to hire more if you want to continue to justify your price.

At the beginning of the year, the lack of bug updates could be excused because it was the holidays, and your devs deserve some time off. That is fine. It is now May. Are your devs are taking weeks off after each update? This is not appropriate. I am 99% sure you are just sitting on bug fixes for each major monthly update. Since November, you have released 6 hotfix updates, with some of which being released roughly 1 week after a major release. When you do finally release an update, you have to have your media team make a big deal about it. Just RELEASE UPDATES AS NEEDED. Make the dev updates the priority, not the media team. No One Cares about a media update for every single hotfix update. They just want their game to work. At this rate, you MIGHT have a solid game in a few years. With a 68% positive rating, this is ridiculous.

Seriously, is this company being run only by the accounting department? Do you guys even play the game AT ALL? I remember that for Planet Coaster 1, you spoke about your devs spending time playing the actual game. Yet each time you guys have done a "deep dive" video, it feels like you are learning about how the game works along with your viewers. This is a BAD practice. Seriously, something must change.

Side note: Before the Frontier fanboys come in with their normal "Frontier is doing a great job" and thanking them like they are doing the best job ever, NO. They aren't. Look at any other major games patch schedule. You will notice, there normally isn't a set schedule. Why? Because they push updates as needed. The amount of people forgiving Frontier for this practice is saddening. This is why companies get away with this stuff. Because you let them

Not even that...

It's truly disappointing as I really would like to play this game. But with all the bugs and work arounds you have to do just to enjoy the game, it does not seem worth it to me. Not to mention the price lol. If your park cant function because of pathfinding issues, maintenance problems, guests walking through walls, whats the point of playing this game? That's literally the core game play and it seems broken. I'd be happy with less content and better game play for now, but they keep throwing things at to see if it sticks and works. Seems DEV TESTERS are long gone. Same happen with CS2

More frequent bug fix updates would be welcome from me. I agree that frontier must be focusing on the monthly updates rather than bug fixing, However the bugs are indeed mounting up and gameplay is suffering as a consequence.

Maybe Frontier should do a "Bug Bash" update for update 7 focusing primarily on Bugs and Fixes with a smaller content addition for that month.

This is kinda a silly post.

Yes. Yours is the kind of content we're all here for.

I wrote this exact post pretty much. I'm not sure whats going on at frontier but they need a course correction before they just crash and burn hard.
