We haven't been receiving screenshots from a marketing machince, we've been getting them from Oleg. While part of the reason he's been giving us update threads may be to help build interest in the sim, I think he also likes sharing the development with a community that he has an affinity with. Add to that the fact his main role is not releasing screenshots (he's plenty busy with everything else) and you see he's been showing work in progress, often at low detail settings. I think he's also stated that he deliberately wanted to keep some surprises back, and that might include the desire to hold back some eye candy.
If a Friday update doesn't show much new, it's easy to complain we haven't seen anything interesting that week - imagine if we get the game on release day and everyone feels they've seen nothing new, that they've already seen it all in update threads. It would be anti climax.
Instead Oleg has managed to show us some interesting developments (eg tracer smoke, mission builder etc) without spoiling the big event when we finally get the game.
Lastly, Oleg hasn't needed to show those on this forum how nice the game will look. We all know it will be nice, and we'll all buy it anyway. It's the rest of the market that need to see how good it is, and they really should be trying to put some finally quality clips together for them.
