People are acting like the drop-off in updates and communication is some new issue — it’s not.

Remember four years ago (June 2021, to be exact), during PLL LXV? That was the one with Yoko Taro and Yoshi-P answering top-rated community questions live on stream.

One of those top-voted questions — mine, actually — asked about the possibility of Flight Unit mounts. Yoko Taro was totally on board, but Yoshi-P gave the usual “I’ll have to check with the dev team” response.

Here’s the proof:

I was glad we at least got the Pod mount (since the assets already existed), but since then? Total silence. Even a “sorry, can’t be done” would’ve been more respectful than this endless radio silence.

And that’s not even the only question that got swept under the rug. A lot of community-raised topics just… vanish. No follow-up, no transparency, no closure.

This isn’t a new pattern. It’s just been getting harder to ignore.

We don't need a Liveletter - we need a Town Hall.
