And while it would be nice, I don't see it as a must to know exactly what they are doing at the moment, I know that they are fixing the game and that's enough.

So tell me, why MG should take time off their work to post in the forum?
Just to appease a handful of people that for some reason feel that they've been cheated and can't play it cool?
And no, it doesn't take just a few minutes, because they have to consider what and how to communicate as it is official communications from developer to customer, they probably don't want to blurp out just anything.

If you really want proper communication you should probably write a letter or at least an e-mail to the publisher, not post on a forum of the developer.

Obviously you never worked in a professional environment. Any serious team working on a project needs a "to-do" list, tasks assigned to people, and a road map that helps them (and the people they're reporting to) to assess the situation, extrapolating a bullet point list from that is a 10 mins job. And yes, Luthier doesn't HAVE to report here, but it's advisable he would, if anything cos he's been doing it constantly before, often taking the PR role when Oleg was fed up. As I mentioned before, this silence and lack of patches is probably just because they haven't quite managed to fix the important stuff yet, but they never openly admitted that they delivered us an incomplete product, nor gave us a rough estimate of when/how things will be fixed.

It's like buying a new car that promises a lot but that doesn't work properly, and hearing once every three months from the dealer "yeah, we're working on it buddy, don't worry" and receiving pictures of mechanics working on random stuff (like someone else's car).. If you can't see the whole situation as utterly ridiculous then you're probably blind.
