But I think now that many features and core mechanics we believed would be in the game have been dumped, the lack of communication, the poor quality of the previews all combine to create an atmosphere of well founded skepticism at the current time.

Maybe I can answer with the same sense of smug self-assuredness? On second thoughts, maybe not. Let me offer an English folk-saying instead. You are making mountains out of molehills. Worse still, I can't help thinking you are doing it because it suits some sort of personal agenda of your own that has little to do with the success or failure of this new game.
