You're terribly misinformed in your Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines review. Troika Games couldn't release more patches because they were legally threatened by the publishers. Tim Cain explains this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jGeBSegKjNM
Not to mention, Troika Games was initially rushed into releasing the game when they hadn't fixed all the major bugs. Furthermore, the studio was shut down about a year after the game released.

The sequel is being made by a different studio called Paradox Interactive.
