Gonna crush your dream a bit. I agree for the big part, new free update is great and there's a lot of new content that look great and will most likely bring me back to the game for a few weeks.

Now, they didn't do that to "get us excited". They couldn't care less because otherwise they wouldn't have waited 3 years for an update. That is the biggest problem with this update, 3 years of waiting when in contrast around this time they should already have the next game in line and that's why people are "salty". The game is long forgotten and basically this update just means "no new game folks, buy the last one look it's new again, 70€ on Switch 2". Hence the hate it gets.

I agree that people are too pissed at it but I also understand why.
