Things tend to turn sour once ETAs and the likes are officially announced and they aren't met, that was the case when the Gunner update was delayed the first and second time. Still a little teaser in the form of a video or even a few lines in an announcement post on where the developers stand at this moment in time would be welcoming.

Multiplayer for Don't Starve was announced around May and since then we have had countless updates from the developers. Note, Klei are a very small team, very small, so small they had to hire a new smaller team to help make multiplayer a possibility. Multiplayer was originally officially announced as a no go, based on the amount of work and expertise it wasn't possible. Still Klei have managed to turn it around just to keep their fan base happy.

I'm sure with the amount of time it takes to post an announcement over a new promo, OOO could afford a few seconds to keep us updated. No?

I think. That patch notes for bug fixes etc. would be very much appreciated, as they show that there is progress happening on the game. Of course, not all patches should be announced, and trying to hide them with bug fixes isn't so necessary. For instance, if the game were changed to be able to download icons and texture files on the fly, it might not be the best idea to tell people about it.

There is however no reason not to announce things like updated textures, and the OP is quite justified in this belief in communication in most cases.

Seeking truth??? You can fool the rest, but you can't fool me- I know you're just coming onto me with this truth seeking act you keep putting on.

@Mystrian

So to hear you tell it, the community should spend more than a few man-hours trying to figure out what was changed themselves (and potentially missing smaller changes completely), when OOO--who already knows what changes are being pushed out--could type up a post in a matter of minutes? Am I understanding you?
