Wow, that is depressing. I do hope they become more transparent looking forward, at least. I don't think it is even just an indie game thing -- Diablo 3 folks seemed pretty active to me even before the leadership changes, and the new team just ramped it up.

Don't get me wrong, Bungie does communicate with the community fairly often and in various forms. The issue is that they ALWAYS hold their cards super close to the vest. Basically, they never say more than they absolutely have to. The fact that they are both very guarded and love to use word-play is what drives people crazy. Understanding Bungie is like taking a masters course in speaking "Bungie". It's like a foreign language at times that requires deciphering. You have to do a lot of reading between the lines to get to the heart what they are really telling you.

Thanks, this is super great info. Based on what you know, do you think there is hope? Do you think Bungie will be able to adjust course and provide more/better?
