Option 1, they're terrible at communicating with their fanbase and really just don't know how to use social medias to promote their game, they just give update to players when they've established smth or finished to develop the beta version for example. Although it's really not a good thing to do long-term, I would prefer a lot more that they think like that rather than the second option that is,
Option 2, they just keep the fans blinded, in the dark, and release a little announcement every six months like "The game release will be postponed but it will be for soon!!" just to give people some hope and then disappear again. Idk if i'm right but i think it's a marketing technique but that's kind off sad if that's the case that would mean that we're just lured into a cycle of being toyed around (pretty ironic considering the theme of their game...) as we wait, wait and still wait and suddenly, when the hype is about to fall back, they give us a piece of hope and we fall into this cycle again.
So idk, personally I gave them the benefit of the doubt so i'll just wait for more updates i guess.
