Is the main issue with 1C the lack of communication? Feedback = Consideration for us?

I think the biggest problem for the forum is that, stuck between the "Everything is wonderful and this game is fantastic in every possible way" brigade (Who, in all honesty, I have never witnessed on here! Food for thought.) and the "Nobody can play this! It's an absolute disaster and the most horrific thing to happen in the history of mankind" brigade, there is the....

"I love this game BUT.....Real Info I can get my teeth into? Patches? Real Fixes? Can I get my money's worth please?" brigade.

I'd say that is the majority of people, sadly, and they spend most of their time gasping for air, trying to get their voices heard and either being drowned out by, or accused of being members of, the former two examples.

Some facts:

1) No matter how much anyone may protest to the contrary, this is not the game we were promised.

2) Although the small size of the team must be considered if one is to debate from a position other than ignorance, communication needs to be far more intensive (Even if the dev team think we won't understand a word they are talking about!) Sometimes people like to see that something is happening, even if they don't really know what all the charts and technical jargon actually means. (They won't admit they don't know what it means either! That's part of the PR game. ) The team is small so fixes will take a lot longer than, say, something released by a massive studio... just keep us informed!

3) None of this is actually B6s fault.

4) The game is playable.... though not as it should be. It is playable and I'm certainly not going to pretend I haven't had tons of fun with it even if I am annoyed at the current state of the software.
