Its more like how much the devs want to give to the community. Because they can write stuff with lots of info and then its only about sustaining the pressure. Mark chooses the easy cheap way out and doesnt want to work under any pressure. He chooses that benefit over the risk of loosing customers so it's really up to him and how much BRL wants to earn in terms of revenue. Its a clear case of where amount of work directly equals amount of pay. BTW the cobra thread got bad because of one or two idiots, and it didnt contain much info in the first place only that everyone could ask the same questions over and over and be replied, doesnt mean grahamk gave useful info. But cobra does give an impression of being at a more advanced stage than max3d.
I would be happy if mark posted some seemingly irrelevant info every week such as
"10/05/2008: Worked on passing more than TEXCOORD1 to shader. compared results with fxc.exe. You dont know what the heck i just said? I dont give a [beep] at least i gave you an update."
Sorry to say but i have found alternatives to max3d because i need them. On the other hand i dont see people here being technical enough to even know how to use and handle the dx9 technology (primarily shaders) and even less do i see people making 3d art that would look better had they have dx9 at their disposal. So seriously, i dont think most of you need it for a useful purpose, you just want to mess with it. I'm talking in relation to blitz3d projects, there have only been a few half-serious ones and most incomplete. My point is, as far as the existing community is concerned i dont really see the reasons for their whining. I do think however that Max3D will create a new community with new people who may work on more serious projects.
