New cars pay the salaries and keep the lights on.

and not fixing bugs eventually pisses off long time dedicated players who go find another game to spend money on instead!

Well, they have to decide for themselves. I really doubt that the majority of players notice when there is a problem or when they are fixed. Majority of players aren't as invested as those on the forums. You can't draw conclusions from the discussions you see here to the entirety of the player base and what they will or will not do.

And bugs don't get fixed if you aren't to pay the software engineers to fix them. And you can't hire beyond your revenue stream. So you prioritize the fixes with the new work and the lower priority problems get pushed out into the future. It is the classic project management triangle. You always have to balance time, resources and scope.
