I suspect the reason for no videos or any recent comment from the devs is that they are burning the midnight oil and stressing to get the game up to gold status. Expect it is 'all hands to the pumps' time right now.

Don't know when the final cut-off point for going gold will be, but to allow enough time for distribution, etc I expect it would have to be by end of next week at latest (?)

Personally, I feel that they have been a little too cautious in what they've shown - the 2 videos were very good. The 'perfectionism' excuse sounds right to me.

Overall though, the promotion has been poorly handled. I've been very positive about everything all the way through, but right now there are enough warning flags to cause me some misgivings and worries. I have no doubt that eventually we'll get something great. Also no doubt that I'll enjoy the game from the start, but I'm finding it harder to keep making allowances for the dropped features and unfinished elements - Oleg's admission that the Spitfire pilot might not be fixed before release was what pushed me over the edge a little - and lack of promotion.

Has it occurred to anyone that they might be purposefully advertising in this manner?
This way they can release it, polish it, make it proper and start the advertising after it's 99% completed and not a crap shoot.
We've all witnessed potentially great games with huge hype crash because they aren't ready for the "mob."
