- Poor communication about actual status and progress.
- Bad choice in wording of the deluxe vs supporter for their premium offering. Hemming and hawing about changing it despite admitting it was poorly done.
- Claiming a full release when it's clearly still an early access game with limited content and full of bugs (note on the latter: due to the last minute delay they may fix this but so far they appear to be at minimum months away from a real release with full content/systems).
- Either intentionally or through negligence cultivating a rather toxic community spirit resembling that of Rust or 7DTD. Git gud or bugger off type attitude.
- Use of a fairly manipulative game mechanic (intentionally or not) that serves no in game purpose and is tacked on to manipulate the player into a sense of urgency to keep playing.
- The timer itself is not actually related to game time.
- The timer counts down in real time while no player is active.
- The timer does not count down while avatars "sleep" to skip the night.
- The timer if it goes off even when you're logged off it will at minimum negate your progress for the session and in worse case kill your character erasing most progress.
- Their response to people wanting the timer to only run down when people are actually playing was to introduce outposts.
- Outposts supposedly have no storms or animals and based on descriptions are tangential to the main game.
- People who point out problems on their discord disappear shortly afterwards.
- People who report harassment from other community members also disappeared without notice.
