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.

I much prefer a developer who keeps us up to date on atleast some aspects as opposed to one that doesn't say anything at all. If your going to follow a development you have to be prepared for setbacks and features that don't make the initial release. Even the developer has no idea if a feature will make the release until they have to make the decision to go gold or not. Just because a feature doesn't make the initial release doesn't mean it has been dumped. Unfortunately the developer is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

I agree that there is nothing wrong with being skeptical or being constructively critical, its just the some are constantly sticking the knife in every chance they get, even when it wasn't warranted in the first place.
