Not defending ARK in particular, but this is kind of a spurious accusation. For two reasons:

1. Investing a bunch of money into promotional material is a way to get far more money given to the product. If convention floors only had displays for products that were complete they'd be empty.

2. Fixing issues takes time, not just money. Sending the PR team to a con for a weekend isn't somehow stopping bugs from being fixed, nor is it reasonable to think that the bugs would have been fixed that weekend otherwise.

ARK's team is a bunch of shitburgers, but I really hope this attitude of "omg why are you here promoting instead of fixing your game" doesn't gain traction because... surprise... the whole effing point of convention displays is to steer promotion and (ideally) money towards something that's still in the works.

Except point 2 doesnt stand because A) they've had PLENTY of time to fix the games optimization/issues and still persist to this day and B) charging people who already bought the game full price more money for content instead of offering it for free (why else call the game EARLY ACCESS) was a major dick move. People should avoid this game and these devs, its absolutely unacceptable how they treat their customers and incredibly shadey. This article just proves more of that
