(Ice Cold Take) This subreddit would whine and complain no matter what Gaijin does and it's completely understandable why Gaijin doesn't talk to us anymore.

We deserve the radio silence at this point. Gaijin has no reason to engage with the community when we just hurl insults and conspiracy theories at them regardless of what they do.

Add a new vehicle? It's X nation bias.
Change SL economy? They're making RP harder to come by.
Make a modeling mistake? Lazy and incompetent and/or national bias.
Poorly balanced vehicle? Incompetent and greedy devs.

It's not to say everyone here does this but it's such a large proportion of the community that it's completely reasonable for Gaijin to not communicate with us.

That's also not to say this didn't start with Gaijin, it most certainly did with nonsensical and greedy decisions, but at this point the vicious vitriol we spew back at them for even the most minor of perceived infractions justifies their silence outside their walled garden of the forums.
