It&#8217;s not under an ethical or moral mandate to put out a trailer or whatever, but at the same time\u2026 maybe if you want your game to be successful, this isn&#8217;t a very good way to make your dreams come true?<\/p>\n<p>It seems especially reckless after the game&#8217;s prior, mostly unexplained delays\u2014which have been rolled out with little concrete end in sight. A continued lack of communication (and yes, this is a <em>lack <\/em>of communication, normal game developers tend to do more than a Discord message once every blue moon) doesn&#8217;t give me an easy feeling in my tummy.<\/p>\n<p>Mind, it&#8217;s almost a running gag at this point.
