I don't know why I do, but I come here daily and read about the game. I bought the game about a month ago and haven't installed it yet, waiting for 1.05. It's sitting right next to my keyboard, ready to go.
While it does appear that every day someone starts a new thread taunting the devs to speak (or else!) I like that they've remained silent. Truly, their work will speak for itself. Later, when folks are looking for ammunition about why they hate or love the game, they will not be able to use the developers words against them. It's difficult to predict how all the hardwork will be received and with all the drama on these forums lately, I just cannot blame them for staying out of it.
I worked in the game industry for 5 years and let me tell you, it's a rollercoaster ride, and that's not including interfacing with customers. At least BFC is working on a game they love and support. I think it will show, just as it has in the past.
