I suspect if the game actually were to die then it would be all over the internet. So no news is probably good news. For me at least this is the last chance ED will get for a long old while to get me back so it's probably good they're taking their time.
really???
We just had an update for VR last week, bookmarks will be in 2.1 due in June. Patience my good man, they are working hard on it.

Everything is in order, it's been announced that it would happen.
Essentially, the Newsletters take over that part to some extent in these "silent periods".

Totally agree, they seem to miss out on good PR.
I'm happy they're finishing up the update rather than faking marketing videos personally. Actually the closer we get to NMS launch and the more we hear I remain optimistic that ED is going in the right (non disneyfied) direction, but they're still going to be under huge pressure with that happening as well. Bet the office is fun right now..
Love these threads. I never tire of reading through them. [hehe]
it's sunday right now.

They are pausing the Dev updates so they can concentrate fully on getting 2.1 ready. Do not under any circumstances panic...this will lead to having to change the light bulb to a red one
I'd rather have FD shadow playing, than CIG propaganda stormtroops spamming me with dreams. We will get there steady as she goes Gentlemen.
Given a choice betewen marketing content that doesn't exist and focusing on creating content over marketing, I think I know which one I'd consider the correct approach.
As for OP's 'sky is falling' post, one of the most hilariously overblown reactions I've seen for a while. FD did specifically say in a previous update that updates would not be regular after that one in the build-up to releasing 2.1.
I've never really understood this need for constant reassurance that some players have, possibly because I started gaming when the only communication you ever got from game developers was magazine interviews. Now you go a few weeks without a dev update and people start to suffer from separation anxiety or something.
Yes there are games where the dev teams update players far more regularly, equally there are many where they update them far less regularly. I'm sure we'd all like to have weekly or even daily updates about what is going on but there's a point at which you have to temper that with the need for them to be actually working on the game rather than reading and posting on the forum or drafting update posts. We still get a weeky newsletter, what exactly do people think would be reasonable, a personal phone call from Sandro each week?

OMG, is it really impossible to read a bit before posting nonsense? Forum seems to turn into a WARR media (Write always, read rarely).
Now go find the last dev update that included Xbox (apart from that quick promotional thing for the spring sale..)
Last Xbox update was also 4 months ago.

Yeah, because forum past performance shows that with updates, FD gets all sorts of feedback and constructive thought that will help them produce a better game. Better off ignoring the ceaseless whining, chatter, and incessant doomsday prophesying from the fringe when they're trying to focus. All they'll get is distracted by an inordinate amount of gravity tied to a bug that bothers one guy and his cat.
