Because corporate see's $$$ signs its easier to get resources to create cosmetics like those for an Apparel event but getting resources for something the game desperately needs but can't be monetized is much harder.

    Imagine everyone is anywhere from unhappy t pissed off about this but just remember that "the devs" as the term is often used aren't the decision makers. They are stuck doing what they can with whats been approved so if anyone is to blame for the mess its going to be someone higher up in an office sitting behind many layers of employees so that they never have to deal with the angry customer face to face.
    Covid its not excuse , why other games like destiny 2 deliver new awesome DLC, or ESO online another greate DLC
    Massive are lazy , they working probly on div3 and give up on DIV2

    Well, I've had very good value for money out of this game, having spent well over a thousand hours playing it for less than £38 and there is still more to come.

    I also think that a lot of people have suffered burn-out much sooner than usual after having already spent 2k+ hours in the first game and need to take a break from time to time and maybe, you know, do something different.

    Division 2 was too similar to Division 1 and I can't help feeling that it would have been a better idea to keep Division 1 updated with expansions; the bottom line would have still been fine. It would have taken less effort to fix the problems with Division 1 than it has to create a new game with new bugs and new issues IMO.

    Gz to console players. I had a feeling they would change their minds about 60 fps on console. Wise move.

    February is just ridiculous for a next gen upgrade. They might as well scrap it and work on division 3...smh

    You mean the DLC they started last year, and the first to drop in 13 months?

    Massive dropped a huge expansion 7 months ago.. let's hold off on the outrage until March rolls around an there is still no word on any new content.. I'm super disappointed they cut Nightmare, but I'll be ok with it if its because they needed more hands on deck for looming DLC

    It's almost like a bunch of you don't work in collaborative, creative jobs that are trying to adapt to working remote ..

    Make sure you tell that to CDPR as well if you can. They have the next gen update announced for "somewhere in 2021".

    Schools and hospitals are being built. Huge skyscrapers are being built. Highways and infrastructure is being built.

    Why can't a bunch of kids peck around on a PC? Working remote is not complicated when it is all based in a computer. The computers don't need line of sight. I can't think of an industry that would be easier to adapt to remote working.

    For what games?

    The Witcher? Not a live service game with near zero staff on salary.

    Cyberpunk? A game that is still in production and started before next gen existed? They aren't working on next gen upgrades because they're still building the foundation of the game.

    The Division is a live service franchise that has been active for years. It has an active development team (albeit a small one) on payroll. What are they working on? A couple new guns and some loot boxes?

    Everyone knew the next gen systems were coming out. It's not like it was a secret. Even older games like rainbow 6, and newer games like breakpoint, and for honor, have or are getting next gen updates within the week. What were they doing on the division team?

    Let me get this right. The news from sotg is that they are scrapping the planned expansion, replacing it with an apparel event, then maybe by February we'll get 60 fps. We're suppose to be happy with that???

    Yeah you're absolutely right. I was just messing, and made a little stab at someone on this forum a while back that was preaching that an FPS unlock was just a single line of code and only takes 5 minutes of work. 🤷*♂️


    Nevertheless, I'm happy with the performance boost for both Division and for Cyberpunk.
