That's the problem isn't it? We know only what we see and go on guessing, hoping and worrying from there on.
I just wrote that i cannot understand some of larians reasoning for doing or neglecting something. And that i would do differently, at least based on what i know and see.
But normally a snail does not suddenly grow feet to run. So if it's going on like this, there may well be a lot of the aforementioned problems. Personally i'd rather know what is coming than having my hopes crushed.
It may well be that the game and it changes are at a totally different state than what we see now and we are still making threads about issues long resolved internally. (not that i really believe that though).
