Has there been a mutiny?

Here's my latest theory.

Someone (Arthur perhaps) has decided that the community was so mean to FD last year that he's had enough of it and has decided to instigate a "Hello Games"-like zero communication policy for a few months to protect "his people" from us, just pushing out the updates but otherwise giving us nowt 'cos we don't deserve it. Sally strongly disagrees with this and has been doing what she can to keep things civil but has been given very little rope (or information) to do so with.

That'd be a bold decision, given that it only worked for Hello Games because there was an amazing payoff at the end of it.

I don't blame them. Knowing this 'community' is pretty normal they want to stay away as much as possible.

This is the only forum that matters:
  • David Braben. Founder and Chief Executive Officer. ...
  • David Walsh. Non-Executive Director. ...
  • Jonny Watts. Chief Creative Officer. ...
  • David Gammon. Chairman. ...
  • Charles Cotton. Non-Executive Director. ...
  • Alex Bevis. CFO and Company Secretary. ...
  • James Mitchell. Non-Executive Director. (Tencent guy)
These are the ones affected by the trajectory of FDEV

T Rowe Price International1,362,3293.5
Canacord Genuity Wealth Mgmt1,310,0283.3

So if there is a directive to cut out communication with the customers, it comes from these folks.

I really don't think FDEV community radio silence is the result of a shift to a "Hello Games" approach - these are CMs - not marketing directors. They get marching orders from above.

The investment companies aren’t going to concern themselves with the day-to-day operations of frontier. If frontier is doing well, they’ll funnel more cash, if they’re not doing well they’ll take their cut. They’re not concerned, at all, about anything other than are they making money and if not they’ll sell and invest elsewhere.

Omg, are you insinuating that the main shareholder and boss of the company is actually this so call "D. Braben". This is shocking news, almost conspiracy level.
