People are complaining because not only did we not want GS as a publisher but we wanted a frickin update with some new behaviors considering it's been months. I still need mic, cam, gps, magnetometer, for my Ghost Words app! Oh and PAUSE if not for me for QS!
dotsonj23 did told them, don't tell us anything you don't want posted on the forums. I don't think this ain't that bad of a deal on what he posted at all, otherwise they would have closed this post by now.
They definitely have a new membership structure that I think all will be happy with...even people that left and want to come back....just FYI, even express will be cheaper. and yes, there won't be a 'Direct-direct' (you'll find out more about how they're planning on market that).
@JohnPapiomitis, there's nothing wrong on exploring other options, maybe the things that can't be done with GS right now you can make with other tools in the mean time.
About the roadmap false hopes, it was my saying from what they mentioned. They do talk about roadmap stuff during this conferences, but don't put it in writing ;p I agree and I told them, we need a roadmap, even a rough one.
Yodapollo did said that he plans on doing the twitter questions more often, perhaps after the release to answer all questions and then they'll get posted in the forums afterwards. I think this is with the intention to be more open (and get more followers
As for the 'advertising' on the game they showed us, from what I saw, it was the splash screens of all involved in making the game (a la chilingo).

@TSB: We have a right to complain. 0.9.0 is just a fix, NOT an update. A redesigned GS Creator and Website doesn't give us a "proper" update. Now, it has been almost half a year since the last "proper" update. There are no new behaviors, and probably no new anything; just bug fixes; might as well wait for 1.0.0, if that comes out.
Also, if I'm correct, then forced advertising violates our first amendment rights. (FYI, TV ads are not forced, TV stations need advertisers to pay for the show(s) in question, which is why ratings determine if a show stays on or is canceled)

The most likely reason is: Prepare for GS Direct Do a U-Turn on GS Direct Take out GS Direct stuff
It's a bump in the road, but at least the GS Direct stuff is no more. And I noticed a tiny difference in the build I got to test which will have a massive impact. It's not a new behaviour, more a fix to one, and I'll point it out when the release is here.
As to the ads - why not wait until all is revealed before going off half-cocked?

I agree with waiting, I'm just pointing out the facts. (I like to do that) Plus, which is why I'm not complaining all the time like I did with the Direct announcement. In fact, I won't be complaining until a yellow posts; if it's a bad post. If it's a good yellow post, I'll jump for joy.
I can't wait to see what the new website looks like!
Ok. I have been reading everything i can about all the new stuff about to come out. I have one simple question to ask. if we wanted GS. to publish our games they will or are they going to publish them any way? I have nothing but trouble with dev center and I'm tired of messing with them.
Gonna reserve judgement on the new splash screens and ads bit for now to see how it works. The thing that again annoys me is the fact that this info doesn't come from gendai. They are happy to tell the public at a game show all about it but here on the actual developers forum just side step questions and post occasionally vague info. How hard would it have been to have posted this info? I can only conclude that we are bottom of the pecking order because they really just don't respect us at all.
+1 it certainly winds me up a bit but following the teachings of my guru I have recently chosen 'the way of the blind flightless swan' and karmatically it is paying off in spades.

I'll be in the garage if you need me. With a shotgun.
