This, a thousand times over. would I have enjoyed a december 2012 release, sure would I have liked more updates, definitely Simple fact is that there are many reasons why we can't have insider updates with copycat scammers on the coast. so far the concept has been stolen, the styling has been stolen, the name for the initial release has been stolen. Just accept that this game is currently being watched by many people for many reasons, from rival developers to financial stakeholders. This is not an open source project, this is a development with finances at stake for BI, Rocket and his team. is Rocket the best developer/community manager/communicator that ever lived? Hell No! he's just a guy that had a vision for a type of game that didn't exist yet and has been fortunate enough to get it into actual development. personally I find it more important what happens around updates and communication after the first release comes out.
