Why no new patches? I doubt they balanced and fixed everything new in 5.0. I understand 5.0 should be the last "major" patch, but minor patches are inevitable in such complex games. For example FPS issues are still present

frankly deadfire didn't sell enough to warrant such prolonged support - it only barely broke even well after patching support stopped. at some point you have to put your staff members on projects where they can make bigger bucks. given how much attention obsidian's other games have gotten (grounded, outer worlds) it makes business sense.

even for games that have extremely high sales, it's more cost-effective to stop support and work on something new. skyrim has been re-released like a bajillion times but hasn't had a balance or content patch in ages, despite the fact that it's so buggy that the unofficial skyrim patch is always something i recommend people install before starting the game.

 

that's just the reality of the game industry.
