Considering some of the more recent developments, I'd argue that they'll be more wary about posting news until they know their updates and etc will go smoother than before.
They do this because they didn't get their way, and would rather see the game fail than anyone else get enjoyment out of it at all.
Have to give props to Little Orbit for coming out and making the first post to this thread tho. They're acknowledging the problem (which prior companies ignored) and are working towards a solution. Just seeing this effort gives me some hope for the future of APB.
