the gameplay changes are up for discussion . I agree with you otherwise , but from the point of view of somebody who works in the IT branch , you cant keep developing the old game and work on the new at the same time . Either way you have to hire a massive amount of new people to have enough manpower to work on both projects or you slow down the development of both and let half of your current employees work on each project or you stop developing the old game and focus on the new game only you could still make balance changes since that team doesnt have anything to do with developing the new project <| sep |> This isn ' t Summer 2016 anymore you know ? There are way too many good games out right now for people to wait 6 months after launch for a patch to clean things up .
