Not true. As of late FDEV's communication has improved indeed. Perhaps not to the level I'd personally prefer, but we've been getting a lot more info lately than say last year.
Plus, you don't have to be rude, arrogant and lie to get FDEV to give us info. It's enough to ask politely most of the times.
If anything, it's probably due to threads like this one FDEV are keeping silent in the first place.
It's probably my fault as some years back when we didn't get some feature talked about by Frontier devs in an update (I forget what), I mentioned that they might not want to talk about features of the game they intend on implement early as people then come to expect it, and even if it is implemented, might not meet their built up expectations by the time it is implemented, having gone through various viability and unforeseen limitations and "prioritization" passes in the interim.
Never mind all that though. From what I remember hearing them say, they intend to make more feature complete expansions/DLC people can purchase at face value instead of as early access, season passes, pre-purchases, or the like, waiting for what they expected and paid for to be implemented.
Funny enough, having the LEP and seeing the early dev videos, to an extent that's what I'm doing now still anyway. I'm not really sure what to expect though. Seems like a good chance of it being rather substantial, given the above and the purported number of devs working on the game for so long. But then, well, maybe not. We'll see.
