Space Engineers has had great updates ever since its release, still going on today with another one coming in a week or so.

However, Space Engineers has been in a "fix-the-mess" state for over two years just because of those weekly updates and because they've been trying to satisify the shitty communities demands.

The game was never originally meant to have half the stuff it has now, like planets, jumpdrives and such. But people complained enough and now they are in, unfortunately with weekly content updates they eventually hit a spot where the game was broken beyond belief and for a few years now they've been reaping what they sowed.

If you look at the current state of development it looks alot more promising, 3 minor weekly updates with bugfixes and such then 1 major update with content/features meant to build on existing pillars on the game like survival, wheels etc.

They stood their ground and even while facing massive backlash from the community on every single update video containing a single mention of "Scenario updates" they kept releasing them, and now the scenario editor is likely what will save this game.
