COVID showed why the Developers need to release Relic content sooner.

Wow, you're like a living meme, Yoshi said lul. Remember when he said that they won't implement timers on houses. Good stuff that we don't have content to play so I could play another games, that's a good quote to laugh at.

You do realize that he has continually stated that stance, whereas housing was a more constantly evolving thing, right?

Being here since 2016, you should also be aware that have had a formula for how to release content more or less on rails since 2.0, and have largely stuck by the timing so well that content creators could guesstimate future patch dates with relative accuracy.

..and that whenever asked about lulls, the devs had said stuff like “good time to go play Nier!” or whatever.

Now there is a massive pandemic, an event entirely out of their hands. It took something like a month to set up telework capabilities, delaying work and their patch schedule.

It’s at best a straw man argument, but your really just comparing apples and oranges to even think main content/patch cycles are even comparable to the side project that was housing.
