I get that it's probably not your decision about what details to share, but most of the negative posts on the forums are about not knowing what the future looks like and having to guess based on tiny crumbs of information, seems like you guys were very open about what features the game would have before, but all of a sudden you guys are working behind the Iron Curtain. Maybe releasing a roadmap even if people didn't like what it said would help quell alot of the anxiety, the post's I've seen that did give details were very vague and only addressed the super short term.
This is just normal TaleWorlds communications tactics, "Umm this is going to change but we won't tell you why, how and when".
Most likely this means they are trying to find a way to make it economically profitable with skins.
