So we shouldn't hold the lead developer of the game responsible for literally lying to us? You're just being asinine and argumentative now. People are allowed to criticize Yoshi and SE, he's even encouraged it himself.

I know Yoshi has also said to take breaks and play other games and I do this VERY liberally, but it really isn't fun to come back to the game for a content patch expecting to have fun and I'm done with all I care to do after just a handful of hours.

The key words here are the ones I've placed in bold.

Accusing the Producer with lying is a stretch of imagination. What has actually happened is that the content produced this expansion is content OP doesn't care about.

It has certainly taken me more than 1-4 hours to complete everything I care to do ... sorry to hear OP is not engaged beyond that amount of time.

he's a corpo, ofc he lied.

Congrats. I could provide no brighter example of why nobody from the company engages with players on the English forums. How could anyone answer such an assertion?

"Just don't play the content and it will last you forever!"

You're delusional if you think JP players don't make these same assertions.

Lying assumes both that what he said was false, AND that he knew at the time it was false.
If what he said was false, but he believed it was true, then no lying happened.

That's why we still have ward housing after all these years despite the poor souls still hoping for instanced housing. It's the primary method for retaining subscribers.

Adding wards in small doses hits the balance where more and more people gain houses and are forced to maintain their subscription but where there aren't too many empty plots and the FOMO is still present. If there were 5000 empty plots people wouldn't worry about taking a break until the next expansion, but when there are only 50 plots left on your server... you want to hold on to what you have.
