I do agree with you that more updates would be good for everyone. But 'Hi blokes, how's it going?' would probably be not enough as the latest update with pictures attracted a lot of negative reaction. Thus there is no point in these 'relationship building' updates.

I think ZaltisZ knows what he is talking about regarding small updates as he works in the dev industry http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...4&postcount=52
Thus there is no points in small updates.

In case the devs would have achieved a milestone by now there would be a beta patch available already and there would no be need for an update.

Everything important was said in the last update (e.g. regarding sound issue). There is no point to repeat it.

I do agree with you that more updates would be good for everyone. My point is people can not demand or expect an update as if it was obligatory and get emotionally unstable and insulting if they do not get it especially on these forums (not publisher's) and especially after insulting the devs. That is why I wrote my 1st message about it saying "Do not be surprised if we get only official updates at UBI and Steam."

If anyone would ask for my opinion why we do not hear from luthier I would guess that they are working night and day again to meet the US release deadline but they are not on time and having major 'negotiations' with UBI about it, which may influence the future of the project much more than Friday updates. Do not be surprised if the project would be closed one day and then resurrected in 3-5 years as independent studio like it happened with BIS Studio (ArmA 2) when they separated with EA (iirc). Only my speculations of cause.

Your post is negative again and not constructive imo. Just remembered it was you with negative comments on RBflight's sound mod here without a valid reason. http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...45&postcount=6
