I don’t know if this recaps the situation accurately, to be honest.

Sounds like the publisher is complaining about some article that’s trying to use the game as a reference on why early access can be a bad thing.

I don’t see how the gamers are an issue though. They will expect what you tell them to expect, this is something for the publisher to manage, and I don’t even think this is a problem for Manor Lords.

All of it just seems like news sites trying to come up with their clicks.
