On one hand I admire your courage and determination to finish the job begun by others (OM). Thank you for that, Luthier. On the other hand I join the people asking for a word of truth about this unsatisfactory state of affairs.

My suggestion: ask your management to agree upon a communiqué, clarifying the current status, the missing components currently replaced by placeholders (terrain, clouds, CEM, what else?) and the remedial actions (hiring staff, as declared by your colleague?). We are not speaking about the 69 euros of my CE, but rather than the credibility of 1C / MG and of the involved individuals, and in turn of the long term success of this series.

Believe me: telling the full truth to the customers, and a path forward to clear the issues, is less painful than letting them discover it by themselves, or learn it from frustrated ex-employees. Take action, please!

Cheers,
Insuber

I agree Tvrdi and Insuber. Tell the truth, otherwise it's jsut guessing, panic, modding and whatnot. If we know that you are aware of the problems and have a plan to fix them then we can support you, whereas if we get a product that leaves a lot to be desired without any explanations you'll get nothing but whining - and rightfully so.

777 studios and Rise of Flight is a great example. They're very good at communication (didn't use to be tho) and they're getting a massive support from the grateful community.
