It's actually a lot of fun 😅 Except for the short period before an update when you're crunching to get that out, because you failed at giving proper release dates due to boundless optimism.
Besides, it's always good to get feedback and input from the players. I don't HAVE to do anything, but some ideas from the players got implemented in the end. Like the tracker here was asked for a few times, so we made it last update.
