Neither asking for answers nor yammering about the state of CloD will change that fundamental aversion to PR and communication. He doesn't like it so he's avoiding it whenever possible.

What's wrong with doing it that way? If I were him I would do it same way - and additionaly I would close this forum.

Additionally you would have no customers for your sequel and you would be out of a job.

IMO from a business point of view, PR & customer support is critical for future sales. I suspect as it stands only a dedicated few will purchase the sequel, certainly not enough to recuperate the loose of CloD and several years the development cost for the sequel.
