I don't think your observation applies here.

Apologies for the miscommunication. I don’t particularly think it applies here (at least, maybe not yet?). That’s why I prefaced my ramblings with both “[t]his may be a bit of a tangent” and “I don’t think it’s the case with Terraria’s fans…”.
It’s just a minor thing I had been thinking about off and on that I didn’t think warranted it’s own “Ask HN”-style article but seemed close enough to an article and discussion on a long-supported game that it wouldn’t be too out-of-place.
It seems like the game is in a solid state that tons of people find it enjoyable as is, with the current body of content and bugs.
If someone bought it today, why would that person be disappointed that it wont be getting updates?
