#also sorry for zero DV commentary tjat thang is like. way out of my wheelhouse

For what it's worth, I have hope that PB will be different if only for the fact that we know they have quite a bit of long term content already planned. Specifically the 22 breeds they want to release for the lifetime of the site, with only a little less than half being available at launch (founders + KS exclusive + KS stretch goal).

Assuming future releases will be done in domestic/mystic pairs and we get two releases a year (a possibly reasonable schedule for development time assuming we have a good number of breed concepts done already + what I think a good pace to satiate player demand for breed updates would be), that gives us about three years of content in breeds alone! The fear of development slowing down for some reason or another still exists I suppose, but I think the knowledge of there being a hard limit of what to expect on some level brings me comfort.

There's also a pretty good write-up by @/solborough comparing and contrasting LW to PB which has put a lot of what I've had bouncing around in my mind into words.

Man lately it feels like none of the newer pet sites are holding up very well. DV being slow on updates, communication and KS promises - and now LW updates also coming to a standstill. Makes me worried about the future of PB - it seems the standard recipe now that the devs are very active and hopeful before beta/release, then radio silence after they have raked in their fill of early release hype cash.
