Sims is a good example, GF_Mastiff!
You only hear about the new addons, which are almost completely payware, just a few weeks before they are released.
Infact even their current release of Sims3 is going to be announced as early as tomorrow, with it's release planned for 1st quarter of 2009. Prior to the second week of this month, there was NO official statement at all about a Sims3 being worked on, much less about the content of the new release. Infact it was announced that the new website which is going to go online tomorrow will only show hints and a quick overview over what is PLANNED in the release.
Imagine 1C had not said a word about any successor to the IL2-series until christmas last year, not posted ANY screenshots or comments on it, not even mentioning a video of the WiP.
