I really wish they wouldn’t do this. They claim they want to be more transparent and open and honest with fans but yet they persist on teasing with vague statements. It’s the online equivalent of putting a few cats among the pigeons and watching the feathers fly. Once the hype train starts rolling full steam ahead, they are then quick to put the breaks on it by saying: “But don’t get hyped!” I mean come on, with that referenced tweet, what do they expect? They certainly don’t want people reading it and going: “meh” It’s a rather bizarre communication strategy. Talk of the game is becoming a focus rather than the game itself.
They can’t have it both ways. Be open and transparent like many other game companies are with future content or say nothing until you can reveal. Because they cannot complain when fans get upset with their current strategy of communication. Practise what you preach.
I'm starting to wonder if the community was happier before without this much communication. You're right, they can't have it both ways, but either way people will find something to complain about. The devs say nothing and people complain, the devs say something and people complain. They gave the community what they wanted in the best way they could deliver it, more communication and transparency, if the community isn't happy with these forms of communication then I don't know what to say really.
