I don't understand the core management's recent involvement in all this. Prior to the new website release, shortly after 2.91, it was the (lead) developers who were calling the shots on news posts and we were free to do releases whenever we felt they were ready. Why has this changed?
I'm sure I'm not the one only one who preffered this.
... Even more interesting
It's clear it was proposed to the core management about postponing Wednesday's post, however it seems to me that the core management are looking for every little excuse to prevent these news posts from being withdrawn.
Quantity is not Quality. I've been approached many times from players asking questions about development that were clearly marked down in a website news post weeks beforehand. Surely this is enough proof to conclude that people are loosing interest in these posts?
I still don't understand why these proposals are even necessary and why it is you guys rejected the original one from us. Obviously we need a roadmap to track progress, your other points are valid too, but how does this affect the core management?
Why does the core management need clear time frames of when to expect these news posts?
Why have the core management suddenly started to care about development?
As I've expressed to other people, in any other community this process would've happened as such:
<Dev> eyo Management, can we fuck the news posts?
<Management> k
In response to Fireburn:
Fair enough, I agree to that. There aren't (m)any bugs present at the moment though, so effectively that should significantly reduce the frequency anyway.
I'm sure I'm not the one only one who preffered this.

If you want to lower the frequency of that, be my guest, and we'll add it into the proposal, but I do believe that if we want to keep our players we should fix bugs like the one reported some times today that guests can enter VIP vehicles. I'm the only one putting some time in 2.91, and all fixes of 2.91 will also be put into 3.0, so I don't believe it takes a lot of time away.
