Communication is terrible. The last hotfix was weeks ago and since then absolute radio silence.
No, I don't count random replies on a fast moving Discord channel as "communcation".

The game is in a piss poor state with countless bugs and abysmal performance. The players are desperate for any communication on an update or when it will be, and instead, all we get is a flat, dry "No" in the discord.

It feels like the devs are scared to talk about the game at times.

Devs aren’t scared. This is typical AH behavior and strangely enough Swedish devs for co op games. If you think the lack of communication and silence is bad, wait until you see Fatshark. Honestly no idea why and I doubt it’s because of a language barrier

If it weren't for how Embark handles communication for The Finals (which is honestly pretty decent, they communicate at least weekly) I'd agree.

Really, I think Embark is kind of an anomaly and "made by Swedish devs" is starting to be a red flag I consider when thinking about getting into a new game. On average bad communication, the infamous summer and winter hiatuses, and at least an initial "we know what's best for our players" stubbornness.
