Try to think about it. Communication costs are covered from marketing budget by a publisher. DCS and ROF devs are the publishers at the same time. You pay them directly and they have the whole amount of your payment to cover both development and marketing expenditures including international forums and communication with community.
MG and 1C get only a part of your money which is supposed to cover only development expenditure. 1C also gets the publisher's part but only from sales in Russia as they are publishers for Russia only. UBI is the publisher for the rest of the world. You paid UBI for forums, community manager, support, internet site, etc. If you are not happy with communication feel free to demand improvements from UBI at UBI forums.
All communication you get from the devs at this 1C forums is a bonus compliment and 1C and luthier's goodwill only including the forums themselves. We are just lucky that 1C has international forum for other games it publishes abroad and that luthier speaks English by chance.
I would not be surprised if luthier would visit these forums more and more seldom as his goodwill is not perceived correctly.
