I spoke privately with BB-Marco Yesterday.

I was a big believer in Spicy Sparks when they arrived, they communicated and basically tried their best IMO. My opinion didn't change after leaving the team too.

Even though they communicated basically nothing at 2025, i was still confident.
At this point, H2 2026, I really started to think Spicy Sparks straight up just Abandoned BB. Not communicating anything nor sharing any progress is a very stupid decision when you literally purchase a community based game.

It seems like Spicy Sparks has decided an All or Nothing approach; He explained they dont want to communicate/share progress because they view these things as discussions that will drain their limited time, with BB users who can never be satisfied. They'd rather spend that time working and progressing.

While I agree there's a loud minority that isn't worth the time, this approach also hurt the relationship with "Normal" BB users who just wanna know everything's okay, that progress is being made and literally to know the Management is still here lol. Patience isn't a problem for most of us. We literally play the slowest game on earth.

His approach is to start communicating and getting feedback and getting Community managers when they will get closer to the finished product of the new website and etc etc.

I asked him to figure out whatever way, whatever unit of measurement of progress, whatever way to communicate even if its just announcements without discussions. Communication is a spectrum and they must figure out a way to do it.

He offered to talk to the dev team (apparently, there are 4 of those working on BB among other apps) and perhaps creating a progress page where they can make updates over there.
BB-Marco Seem to be very confident that they will Deliver a very good product once its finished.

So, I guess we will see...
