That said, I don't get this whole "report / interact" with the community thing. I honestly don't. To me, it's nice to see a few updates there, and yeah, occasionally answering stuff, too.
But all I care about is that any company puts out a good game, that's all. And the more time and money is being allocated to community management, the less is available for the thing that matters, which is that bloody game.
Do you really think that throwing a few bones at us during EA would have cost so much ?
I really don't as that's what all companies with EA games are doing (even for games with smaller and less active early access community).
What's the point of playing an early access if it is not to feel engaged with the game's developmment ?
Sure they patched the game and "listenned" to players feedback, but reaction was in exemple a VERY HOT topic during 3 years.
It wouldn't have hurt them to keep us updated a bit even if it was just by saying something like "we are still thinking about reactions".
