We do get occasional updates on the rebuild (outside the meaningless 75% done, 85% done, trust us please), but it's usually Helius showing his lack of experience and trying to deflect. For example, he doesn't know how agile development works and tries to handwave it away saying he worked a google and bethesda.

For reference, in agile you should have a concrete changes at the end of every sprint (a period of 2-4 weeks) and regular meetings for upcoming sprints, as well as regular releases every some number of sprints. It's 100% a bad sign to not hear anything as the point of agile is during every sprint planning you can assess and change course if need be. Not hearing back means that planning is being skipped, and no course correction can be made.
Also it does show their previous X% complete posts were made up, since if they hadn't heard from the rebuild team in months they wouldn't know how complete it is. That whole conversation is a sad read since Miya has to not too subtly cut him off to stop him digging a deeper hole.
Also yeah
UniversalConquistador any inside scoop? I remember you saying you hoped to convince them of more offline features, no progress there I guess?
