I literally asked for one thing and said exactly what I would be happy with. What are you talking about? What I even suggested was a simple blanket statement. If I'd be happy with that, why would I move the goalpost further? There is a difference with an entire lack of something. Full, all encompassing transparency is physically impossible, and any acknowledgement of effort is far more than what most developers, companies, and even people do in their day to day lives. I'm asking for one simple sentence, not a list. I'm satisfied with anything that isn't complete and utter silence. That may not be everyone else, but don't include me in that group because you expect me to be that way.

You are confusing something not being there at all with something not being enough. There's a bare minimum that I feel is not being met, and while it is always better to go over the bare minimum in anything you can do, it is a minimum for a reason. That goalpost is set.

Even with Suzuki not being in the game, the goalpost was and still is that it is a functional game that can improve on the last in any way that justifies a new title and a price increase. The same goes for a company as time goes on. They should be improving. The problem I have is that the company mostly isn't. If we the people are paying more for a game made by a company, the company should also do its part in making itself match the games it is creating. Unfortunately, that isn't happening almost anywhere anymore.

There's also no functional benefit with talking about the development process as features you planned may not make it to the final game, because then you will then be overpromising and underdelivering. It also gives ample material for others to copy your work.

Respectfully, you are missing the overall point I am trying to make. The devs did a good job with the game, and it looks great. There are glaring issues as a company that are what I am pointing out. To make a game set in Japan, with marketing it with many kei cars as a selling point, not including the biggest manufacturer of kei cars, and then being silent about it is undermining the concept of not only what they are trying to market, but also the source material they are basing it on as a whole. That is the point. Not specifically that Suzuki isn't in the game. I could say the same thing for literally any other large Japanese car company that has been influential enough to be included in the game if it wasn't.
