If you want a reason for the long time since the last proper news, why not reflect on what we know- Lust told us he had been busy working on the update (Invasion mode for Warband) and that was why he hadn't had time to work on a new blog. We also know that he was busy post Gamescom with the Warband console release. Whereas I wouldn't have expected a new blog so soon anyway (going on the history of Bannerlord blogs), if one wants facts to cite as a reason for not having had a blog for ages, those two issues are the best candidates I know of.
There has not been this length of time between blogs since they began. The longest was four months gap, so we are two months overdue which is note worthy.
Longest gap between blogs was just shy of five months. March 20th 2015 blog 10, August 11th 2015 blog 11. Yes it has been longer than that since the last blog, but again, it has
not been six months since the last
news; it has been a shade under five months since Gamescom- just because there wasn't a blog it doesn't count? In your initial post on this matter that I picked up on, you referred not just to blogs but to "significant promotion material", but it seems now you are omitting that from the discussion for the sake of lengthening the period of no news. But in any case, would two months extra
really be noteworthy, when there has never been any regularity in the gaps between blogs in the first place? If they had all been four months apart then a two month gap would be a true anomaly, but that hasn't been the case. You can't have an anomaly when there is no pattern in the first place. There is nothing new here; it is still frustrating that we're having these big, irregular gaps between blogs but that is the same old story.
I think there is a persistent feeling that the blogs are meant to have a more significant purpose for Taleworlds than an optional carrot to feed the fans on this forum. They have not been posted anywhere else than this forum and the main site, neither of which get huge traffic. Then there is the irregularity and infrequency in the posting schedule, which seems random. The blogs don't strike me as being as crucial a part of Taleworld's strategy as they might be for a company developing their first game or a game supported by crowd funding. Maybe it is a bad strategy, a lack of clear purpose for the blogs, but the point is I don't see them as having a strong correlation to the game's development.

A post even worse than my GIF post
As you know, I made it very clear that I think criticism of Taleworlds is fine, yet here you disingenuously pretend that the issue is black and white- because the truth doesn't suit you. If one has a complaint, make it without inaccuracies and hyperbole, because they only undermine what one is saying.
