A dedicated website doesn't seem to be high on the developers priority list. Nor should it be. Their priority seems to be just getting the game done. Even if a third party is building the site they would have allocate needed resources to supply info for the site. The publisher will handle advertising when they know the time is right, not when we want it. That's their business.
People have been clamoring for websites and advertising for the past seven years. It would have been a colossal waste of money had they done what we wanted.
