Bad argument, TF2 is free to play and 7 years old, but less than a month ago they added 5 new weapons.

Starcraft 2 Heart of The Swarm came out well over a year ago and has has nothing added.
You want something closer to GOIO in terms of scope? Try Natural Selection 2.
Regardless of anything, I can't possibly see how you'd think that somehow one of the most transparent dev teams who talk to players on an everyday basis and has a weekly stream where they update you with everything they're going on is somehow abandoning the game.

Where in any part of the description of the game were you promised something more?

Starcraft 2 Heart of The Swarm WAS content addition to an existing game. The original Starcraft 2 started with more variety and content than Guns of Icarus, and they clearly have a different release schedule.
I really am not saying that MUSE is abandoning the game, but I can see problems happening because another great company well in tune with its players made that mistake in the past( which was not abandonment, read my post. What happened to Eve was a lot more subtle than that, and to be fair the game is still around, even though they never got to finish THEIR big ambitious project). I also believe many players who have already shown that they will quit a game for such reasons are playing this one.

"Diverse ship classes and tons of weapons to choose from with realistic flight and projectile physics"
There is a reason that doesn't read "16 different guns to choose from, and 7 ships", those are low numbers. Even counterstrike-source has 28 weapons, and they don't brag about the variety of weapons because it really isn't anything special in that regard.

If that's how you want to look at it, SC2 was released in 2010, HOTS released in 2013, and no release date for the next expansion (both expansions, btw, have to be purchased). The game itself hasn't changed much other than a few new units here and there since Starcraft 1, the core game, strategies, unit being pretty much the same. The only variety and content (other than the campaign version, which is why it's a full price game rather than the ~$15 that GOIO costs) is player made content.

So basically you're crying doom and gloom because someone else at some point had a perceived misstep, according to you. I don't really understand why you're convinced the same is happening here, and somehow putting an "I bought the game and it needs to have more put into it" attitude behind it. Sorry, but you (or any of us here) are owed nothing more than what's already in.
I'm sure we'd all love to have new cool things added in, whether it's ships or guns (though quite frankly the currently balance is already hard enough to get in line without adding more stuff in). I'm also quite ok with having the team focus on making co-op and adventure mode be the best it can be.

Oh please, now you're just nitpicking. Every game uses catch lines and marketing slogans. I quite doubt that that particular line was there for bragging rights.

Not according to me, according to a very large number of people, not including me. Players are fickle, I played Eve before Incarna and did not quit when it came out. I am disappointed that they never got to do 'walking in stations' and was willing to wait out lower levels of content creation for it.
Not everyone will.
I mention it because there are real parallels that were very damaging. I want to see adventure mode. I don't want the community to die while we're waiting for it.
I know that I am not 'owed' anything more than what I bought (I'm a Comcast customer, not by choice). Giving players nothing more than what you owe them is a very EA attitude.
Please do not misunderstand me and think I am demanding anything at all.
