Selling more legendary skins but no focus on performance issues and MMR
Where lies your priorities? Money or respect?

I should make that meme, the "don't make me tap the sign" one.
It'd read "The balance team and the cosmetics team are totally separate and the work of one doesn't take resources from the other".

So you really think those two topics are in any way related?

Two completely different departments.

Thats BHVR for you, tehre are bugs since 2016 that will never get fixed so is what it is and we get what we deserve, people pay and dont complain enough (not in forums, in the shop with not buying)

Companies are not your friend. They exist solely to make money, not to earn your 'respect'.
If it's not going to make a substantial profit, they're not going to do it.
It's the same in every industry, be it Video Games, Television, Films, Music, etc.

Which bugs are you referring to? (Not saying i don’t believe you, actually I do; just want to know which bugs are this persistent and don’t get any fixes)

These are both true, but they have been very adamant about not doing any game health updates when they are sorely needed. It would be more appropriate to ask them to delay a chapter's killer/survivor release to do a game health chapter, but that is something they have stated they are unwilling to do.
So we just end up with arguibly the most important priority remaining on the backburner for literal years and people are getting more frustrated the longer it festers.

While I think there should be more focus on game health, it’s really not true that they are not doing any game health updates. Last mid chapter had plenty of game health updates, but you know what happened? Community got upset because there was not much content.

Considering how the community reacted to the actual game health midchapter recently, I doubt that would actually change the community's mind on things at all.

Omg so true bestie, let the artists and modelers code on the game, it's not like they have teams dedicated to stuff!

Game Health Updates actually come in pretty much every release, there's usually things that improve performance slightly - we recently had the ones with Spirit on Switch for example.
Cosmetics going to the Store are completely different things than producing new content, fixing bugs or new gameplay elements - all off which require a lot of programming, designing, animation etc so they naturally take a lot longer. Nurse for example got completely recoded to try to resolve the bugs with that character - and naturally issues arise from doing these things.

The game needs more than just minor to medium tweaks though. even the last two patches have introduced more performance issues for a significant part of the userbase, and some stuff has been going on for years without being touched. There are many people (myself included) who DO appreciate the under the hood work that gets done over time, but the problems add up faster than the fixes, and its been like that for a long time.

I really wouldn't call last midchapter minor to medium tweaks, and the point still stands that the community reaction to actually getting a patch that primarily focused on game health was to ######### and whine about how it "didn't have anything in it".

so whoever the graphics designers are need to just learn to fix the bugs ig?

Its minor to medium when we need an entire chapter worth of fixes, and some of the fixes actually made things worse and required more fixes after. If there's anything I know about codebases, its that the longer problems sit unattended, the more they cascade into other problems and become harder to fix. Some problems that were minor fixes years ago have created so many dependencies that they are now major fixes, even if their impact hasn't changed much in either direction. Its a very common issue with expanding over time, the code figuratively gets tangled.

If you aren't happy with the state of the game then express that by not buying any skins or DLC. That's what I've done. I haven't purchased anything since MMR and boons came out, and I'm a guy that bought every single Silent Hill skin

That’s a bingo. What would we talk about if there wasn’t something negative to express?
Anyways, #buffBilly.
