I have literally never heard of a published that has delivered on the promise of "weekly updates". They always queue up 3-4 weekly updates that took longer than a week to make, then you wait two weeks, then four, then they apologize and promise a big update next month, and then the updates get slower and slower and promise more and more, and they never bother exploring core issues because those "won't be done by the next release anyways".

Same; I feel bad for the developers because a fast-paced routine schedule for this kind of thing often fails. I admit I see the value in a hot release coming out before holiday season, but I also hate that so much of the gaming community needs live service updates “now now now”.

A lengthy singleplayer game like this would’ve been better treated with a more ambitious initial roadmap with proper engine support - not space suits bolted onto Skyrim.
