Update on Communication

[Rat Catcher]

How about wait and see, this is a small update

Nah, but thanks for the offer!

It is a reiteration of the Christmas message, with added obfuscation due to what is probably a return to the office for most. (as Frontier now permit working from home - previously not an option)

If changes in their communication strategy, as implied by the message, are in process, posting a notification in January - when content had been announced from the Christmas post - that change was afoot and we'd be updated later, would have been the 'proper' way to handle the issue, rather than silence and then today's message.

They need the internal go-ahead this is normal for large companies especially when it comes to the public face.

You mean that internal KPI's need to be realigned throughout each layer within the organisation, to ensure everyone is on the same page and goal-congruent with regards to the long term direction of the company, while still considering their obligations to key stakeholders?

Could be.

Since Frontier seem to struggle with getting-things-right-first-time I'm not sure if this is a good strategy.

"What does this even mean?"

Greetings Commanders,
I want to speak directly about the lack of official streams and reduced communications from our social channels since the start of 2022. I understand the concerns this has caused and hope this statement goes some way to alleviate them.
The whole team are excited to share all of the upcoming content for this year including new updates, content expansions and the next major phase in the ongoing narrative following the Azimuth Saga finale. Beyond this, we also look forward to sharing our new streaming format when the series returns as a weekly show. Changes will include new segments, year-round Twitch Drop campaigns and studio-quality production once we move back into the office.
However, there are several questions that must be answered internally to inform this communication plan. It is important to me that we address key subjects by priority and when we do that the information we provide is clear. The team and I are working incredibly hard behind the scenes to gather this information and provide these answers.
As always, the team and I are grateful for your patience and support while we wait for the opportunity to share all of the above with you. We will update you with more detail as soon as we can.
See you in the black o7.

That's the most important part.
Means they got something to say, and it must be positive as they want people to hear it.

I wonder if this is a real communication or Aft has been put into a freezing escape pod, and someone is talking behind it.. but well..

Not sure which depressed me more, the lack of content in Arf's post or that your post sounds like something I would hear at work, non-ironically...

Look, they are just trying to make sure everyone has their ducks in a row so they can start playing hardball to attain synergy before running these new ideas up the flagpole so they can break down barriers and keep us in the loop.

What does this even mean?

I'd assume it means "I can tell you only things I'm allowed to tell you and I don't know what I am allowed to tell you yet".

Cheers for the update and great to hear from you! As always, eager to hear what's on the horizon.

 

[WINGBACON]

I want to hear more about expansions that Art was talking about. We still don't have Oddysey on cough console

 

[Dantechnik]

I must be a simple creature. I read "content expansions" and I'm happy and continue with my day.

Same that one part made me happy too!

 

[Andrew Gaspurr]

Are you guys contracting Cloud Imperium Games now to do your PR stuff? This statement absolutely means nothing apart from "stay tuned" - which we have been doing for months now.

 

[rOmiLaYu]

if you spend your time tiptoeing around the idiots you'll never do anything useful.

I'd buy a mug with that emblazoned on the side.

Once again. A whole lot of talk without actually saying anything at all.

Couldn't have said it any better mate!!!!!
