How is your engagement since Quarterly Teasers have stopped?

I feel less engaged just in the sense of 'has any dang idea what is going on with this game.' I still play plenty, and I understand they don't feel like they can lay out roadmaps of TEH FUTURE like some games do, but ... I don't know. I really prefer looking forward to and speculating about something I know is coming in a few months than SURPRISE, IN A WEEK or whatever.

Well the thing is, technically they can have a road map (and I am pretty sure they have one internally) since they plan stuff way in advance.

Problem is (according to them) that they are a public traded company or whatever with investors which prevents that. At least that's something @SimGuruGrant said not too long ago.

SWTOR - which is by Bioware, also owned by EA - does roadmaps where they tell you what stuff is coming and roughly when, months ahead of those things happening. That's not how Maxis wants to roll, and that's ... fine, I guess, but it still makes me feel like I'm in a void.

Basically, I'm not saying they need to give release dates and every detail of what's coming, but they could give a little more information further ahead of time that's more specific than 'we're gonna do stuff!'
