That 2020 trailer really screwed this game in the general public’s eye

With the news today being the most general audience coverage state of decay has gotten in a minute, it’s honestly disappointing to see just how many people blame the studio for “doing nothing” since 2018 cause they assume sod3 has been in full development since that 2020 trailer. I’m sure the studio isn’t blameless, especially with the drama a while back, but it’s mostly Microsoft’s fault and now it feels like the general audience kinda just associate the game with “games in dev hell”

TL:DR for people assuming it’s all undead labs fault

State of Decay 3 has only been in full development for about 2 years.

State of Decay 2 was receiving full fledged content updates until almost mid 2024

Undead Labs had nothing to do with that 2020 trailer, it was all Microsoft
