This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don't like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it.

But by now gamers have been so trained to expect to endless content treadmills and all their ilk like mtx and battle passes that publishers/developers get egged on if they don't work on their game 24/7 and forever.

It’s just a teaser dude. Nothing about it says the writing is bad or good.

Oh yes it does. We can absolutely judge what we have seen so far. For some reason a narrative of this type is trending: main character is great because they're great and awesome and everything they do is perfect, and the bad guy person is bad because they just are, and we can't see this for ourselves so we need to be told?

We see it in movies, TV Shows, and Videogames, and people are rightly getting really sick of it.

Tease != an instant turn off

The media apparatus as a whole seems to have forgotten what 'tease' means.
