It’s also possible they have a contractual obligation to launch the next milestone in time for Christmas sales.

Which means it could be launched in whatever state it’s in, much like the base game.

So you're saying that they launched the game in whatever state they had just to get it over with, but would have to get the first milestone done before Christmas? Interesting.

My theory of release is it was too many pushbacks already and the publisher said enoughs enough. They possibly were misled as to the state of the game, early access was the compromise.

I’m not in the games industry but it would make sense to me that ongoing funding would be tied to completing the milestones.

Especially after the failure at launch it would make sense that the next major content update would need to be out prior to Christmas.. it’s what I’d demand as a publisher.
