1C are communicating, far more often then other video games I saw. And I saw many of them.

For a product aimed at a niche market in the simulation world, communication in the recent weeks/months has really slumped. Look at the communcation for, say, RoF (don't flame me for this example).
Some may say that we're lucky members of the team are willing to talk at all, but clearly they need our help in polishing the product, so realistically it is to be expected.

It's apples and oranges, really. Find a similar simulation game in the same state as CloD and let's see if the dev team for that are communcating. There isn't really anything suitable to compare to.

RoF team does not have a publisher like UBI or EA which keeps all marketing budget for themselves. Thus they can spend their marketing budget on communication.

When MG becomes an independent studio and you pay them directly you would get same level of communication.

So it would cost 1C money to get any dev to jump on the net and make a quick 5min post once a week, they managed it when they were telling us how uber the game is so we would buy it.

Car Guy & Atros, personally I think you guys are in denial. I really do. And i hope you guys get it that the more you do deny the obvious the more people will turn pessamistic about this situation as it will clearly become obvious that you are denying the facts.

Rubbish, ROF just has a team that speaks to its community.

Jason from 777 takes time each DAY to talk and answer questions.

Whatever. You seem to ignore the obvious - that broad dev team - user communication is an exception, not the rule.

Great, so we have a half finished sim and a developer that isn't communicating.

I cant wait to spend my money on their next product.

I have always said as such. But it's their product, and within their interest to ensure interest in the product is maintained and that the users are happy
