I'm sure that SE engaged in some shortcuts and quick fixes to get the game up to par after the initial failure, but coding is not the main reason they won't overhaul the system.

Housing is just not a top priority for SE. People are not going to come to this game if they overhaul the system, and people are not going leave the game in large numbers if they don't overhaul it. When I see all these threads, I rarely ever see anyone saying that they're leaving the game due to housing, so it's not even a top priority for them.

So, if overhauling the system is not going to increase the current player base or aid in retaining the current player base, what is SE's incentive to devote a ton of resources to doing it? Especially at the expense of things that may accomplish these things.

What's the return on the investment?
