If stopping world updates would improve progress in other areas of the sim, or would mean less issues after an update, i’d completely agree. But that’s not true. All that stopping world updates will do is create a bunch of 3D and 2D artists sitting around doing nothing. And the issues we see aren’t introduced by the world update itself, but the sim updates that usually come along with it. And since i assume you still want sim updates, those issues will still happen.
The only benefit i can see is that you can now have the test team focus 100% on sim changes, rather than just making sure the scenery is showing up correctly (which i’m not entirely sure is being done very effectively anyways… see this)
