Now that's a name I haven't heard of in a long, would explain the mecha stuff. Also damn this thread left my ass in the dust last I checked.

>wow water is too hard to get what a bad mechanic
From what I'm reading, water is easy to get so it trivializes the point of scavenging for it despite the settings and tone suggesting otherwise. I'm not sure how hard it will be to obtain water late game however, could be very hard. The water mechanic is still pretty gay and I agree with
@Joe Dough 68 and they should've went with the "This War of Mine" route regarding that. The water mechanic looks needlessly punishing yet it's so easy to avoid and is contradictory to the setting so why even have it? If they really wanted to include something like that, they could've made it so that, like said before, it was similar to "TWoM" but when you run low it'll slowly replenish or you can sell shit to replenish it (which I assume is a thing) and then go back out scavenging. Hell, take the Tarkov idea of hiring some randomized scav for free if you want to keep playing and even earn water but he takes most of the shit he scavenges.
I've not played the game and probably won't want to until it's inevitably dead (in which case I just won't) so I don't know much about the mechanics nor how retarded I sound so please correct me otherwise.
especially if your goal is making money first with the release
Supposedly they said they mostly just care about getting out the door, stating that they didn't really care if it was financially successful. Which is a dumb lie if ever I've seen one.
This is more philosophical as it pertains to titles that players enjoy. Realistically, if you liked playing a game, would you suddenly stop playing for 30+ days, only to come back to it once in a while? Are Animal Crossing players in revolt over weeds or residents moving out?
You'd be surprised how many people buy a game and either find that their time is even shorter so they can't play it or they buy it just to have it in their Steam account for whatever, or even just can't download and play it because their internet is so tragically awful due to their area and provider. Also, just because you liked a game doesn't mean you can't get burned out quickly, especially if you burnt your receptors so much that video games just don't do it for you but you're still hopelessly addicted or just can't break the habit. Those are only a few of many reason. Real life sucks, it hits hard for the vast majority of people. To speak from my own experience I was incredibly poor once, had to work for so many hours in back breaking work (overtime and whatnot) for little pay that I just had no time or energy to properly enjoy myself with. It was work, eat, shower, sleep for years on end. That's also why I may not immediately be caught up with shit that happened around this time but I digress.
It's a narrow thought to think that people can't just leave for months at a time for anything. The animal crossing analogy is also...I'll be frank, retarded and trivial compared to the issues (blown out of proportion or not) this game has. Comparing villagers cycling out and getting the chance to see new or old favorites come in, the easy and potentially soothing task of weeding out the area or even ignoring them since they're so inconsequential, or even
planting them on purpose is not at all comparable to the state of this game and I'm not sure how you reached that conclusion other than
quite poorly.
Side note, I've noticed people gaslighting themselves and other people into saying "the developers were forced by the community to release it early and now they're complaining about bugs" when at most you'll just see people wishing them luck and being hyped for the game, hell most of the top comments are people going "Awesome but for GOD'S SAKE take your time with it!" Then there's the usual suspects defending early access titles like it's their life blood, people just can't not make something so personal to them that if you go after it in any capacity you're committing heresy.
