I think we're in a "treat 'em mean. Keep 'em keen" scenerio!

My take on things is that they are probably busy sorting out their first post-release steps and possibly the first patch.

They have two publishers (or maybe even three if it will eventually be sold on Steam as well, alongside 1c and Ubi) whose job is to do the promotion and sell the game, it's not their job to do the promotion if they don't self-publish it. Their job is to code stuff and by what i've seen during the closing months it's obvious that small, often difficult to spot yet important details are being revealed in each update.

I'd say i'm happier having them optimizing stuff until the last possible moment. Don't get me wrong, i still like the updates and expect them every week, but if the difference between a 1 minute video with a few screenshots and a full-blown 10 minute promo done to marketing standards is even a day's worth of optimizations and bug fixes getting lost, i prefer to have the optimizations take priority. Your mileage may vary of course.

All games are not announced "gold". Few actually are.

Anyway, it's 3 weeks

Can I just ask what exactly it was that you expected him to do......seeing as that is what he does every Friday?

So he does the same as he does every week and suddenly that is suspicious?

What exactly would have reassured you that everything was still on track? Should he add at the bottom of every post he makes from now on in: 'Don't worry everyone - it will STILL be out on the 25th' ?

I'm really not trying to be stupid or say that you're not entitled to your opinion, but it seems that if nothing more has been said it is probably because nothing has changed.
