Content does no damn good if you lose players due to instability *facepalm*
Neither does magnifying the time the game is in development because you constantly optimize and bugfix; Only for all your optimization and bug fixing to go out the window when you change something in the underlying belly in the game.
Until all of the major features are in, spending too much time fixing things is just asking to spend time fixing it again and again with every with every patch.
There is some balance to be had; For sure. And they do do some minor optimizing and bug fixing to keep the game mostly playable for the majority of players. But spending too much time on it at this point is just a literal waste of time when they may need to change something under the hood between now and Beta; And every change under the hood is liable to just undo all that hard work fixing things.
Even now we still have bugs that reoccur every alpha version- Like the disappearing death backpacks. It's been fixed a dozen times and keeps coming back because they're still changing things.
So yeah....The majority of the optimization and bug fixing will wait until Beta, And rightfully so.
