I don't know why they didn't have something prepared ahead of time for a blog post. The memes are also getting as old as speculation videos.
Something is better than nothing I guess. :/
I understand your frustration and believe me it was not an easy decision. We know that our passionate community deserves to know more about Hytale. As a gamer myself, I've been in your shoes several times and I know exactly how you feel as you are anxiously waiting for more info (looking at you Cyberpunk 2077 and Elder Scrolls 6!).
Truth is, we have been posting quite a lot in the past several weeks and already exhausted our "ahead of time" backlog. We are knee deep in production and need a bit of a breathing room to allow ourselves to seek opportunities at GDC that could benefit Hytale.
One thing I can say is that we are working towards changing the style of posts in the future to be more "dev" oriented so you guys can be part of the process of what's going on. Rest assured, the publishing team is still working on posts as we speak, it's just that myself and others are too busy to help or review these posts, so it makes sense for us to skip a week and focus on working towards making Hytale better!
I personally feel responsible for this as I am the one who gets to make those difficult decisions, but for the health of my team and myself, it's the right decision.

A response I wasn't even expecting.
It's fine Simon that you don't have a blog post ready. I just don't see the point at all about posting some meme on the website. We don't need unoriginal memes being spread more than they already have been. That's what social media is for. Not a game developer's blog.
Thanks for the response though!
Oh no, the meme won't be on the website haha! Just a tweet or something :P
