No, you just come off as an ass who is being insulting for the sake of it.
My agenda? Well maybe you can be forgiven because your a dumb-ass...
We have had very little info and communication from the dev team other than occasional bad quality photos. Some of them have been great showing the details of the plane, new models etc. But its lacked any solid info, context or details. Pictures are nice, but they are just pictures.
If the dev team said the game would be dx11 and then explained that due to issues it would not be on release, but it was being worked on etc; that would be fine and I would have no problem with it. But if they say something is in, then never change their stance until near release time and dont offer any substantial community -> dev dialogue then thats not great management. The world wont end, but it is irritating. I have been in alot of betas, followed many games from early stages to release, some good, many bad. One of the bad signs is when the community doesnt know whats happening because the devs dont communicate effectivly. That includes not only communication but lack of communication (ie: not saying the engine will be 2013 quality/will blow our minds away/is so incredible all they are doing is downgrading it etc.) That builds false expectations. They need to be realistic and honest, that includes saying: "Hey we are trying or looking at implementing feature x in the game, we dont know if it will make the release date but its on the table."
Or: "The reason there is no AA in the screenshots is xyz"
Seriously... Also will there be a beta? Seperately because they have different purposes will there be a demo of any kind?
