Updates may be restricted but it's not as if we're missing out. I'd rather not see details which the crew absolutely hate and are crap than see them myself. When things are close to how they'll look, then we should be shown them with the added incentive that they can be tweaked until release.
put it this way; would you rather be shown a fugly woman or wait a month and be shown a beautiful one?

The point about development shots (just like back with Il2 on the Blue Byte forums, for those who remember) is to see what they are working on, not to be impressed by shiny screenshots. That includes dead ends, half-finished stuff and reduced quality settings. I sure am still interested in seeing that. But maybe too many people are unable to put things into the proper context.

In other words, I sure feel like missing out.

Accepted, but then people are bound to comment on things that are bad in order for that aspect to be improved. We people are the main people that'll buy the game, so I feel that if enough people feel strongly about a certain aspect then the devs really need to look into it. I don't mind seeing WIP shots, but I think that people should be able to say whether they like it or not
