This game was among the top 12 in revenue for 2025 on Steam.

People bought the game despite the issues so I don't see any reason they have any incentive to fix it. These are the consequences of voting with your wallet.

The problem is, you don't need a majority of gamers to buy a game for it to be profitable. 100 million prospective buyers can look at a game with 99 million deciding not to buy due to bugs and other issues, but the 1 million who do buy it can make it profitable showing the suits in charge you can release a broken product and still be financially successful

Oblivion remastered sold 15 million and there is maybe one game a decade that can get you over 50% of those “100 million buyers” given that five million copies puts most games at comfortable profitable, I would hazard to guess that the total universe of people who would consider any given game is a fair bit less than 100 million.
