I very much appreciate the lead developer posting here and giving some substantial information on the game. As the past weeks have shown, lack of information leads to speculation and, thus, an incomplete or skewed picture. Also many previews can't do that justice, which reviewer would spent month playing to figure out the details for a quick article?
But you can't blame people, it has been human nature for centuries to speculate and fill knowledge gaps.

Particularly in this forum with all the sub-simulation cracks waiting for a release with the potential to finally replaced SHIII+GWX or SHIV+OM, it would have been much better if the developers had released more information about the game beforehand. Scripting, damage models, AI, physics, the way sound-propagation in the water is approximated etc. Many thinks could still be highlighted by the developers, and could change the way the community views this release.

Presently, the (rumored?) potential of the game is still well hidden for most of the people -- where should that information come from anyway?
