- The Immersive Update Feedback - 27 May 2026
Hello, shopkeepers...I see that a lot of you aren't enjoying the new update, and I'm very sorry to see that so many of you are not having a good time!With this update our goals were simply for you to have fun, be relaxed, and fully immersive yourself in the world.I suppose I'm used to updating the game drastically because this is how the game initially looked like in 2019-2020 when I first quit my first job to make this game, previously called Please Buy Something.It didn't even have any combat or multiplayer. Those were painstakingly added afterwards in 2020-2021. While the mechanics and models have changed, all this code is still running in the game to this day!I really do believe that this game is 10x more fun than the legacy build with even more of its original soul.Some players who have left a negative review upon first impression have changed their mind after giving it a little mo…
