Probably unpopular opinion but, I would argue that as the audience for a single game gets smaller and smaller, a good rulebook could be replaced by a third-party video or talking to the designer on twitter. Conciseness is gonna beat comprehensiveness eventually imho.https://twitter.com/gamesbymanuel/status/1099963529321476096 …
If BGG users don't search the forums, I don't have any hope that they'd find the thread on twitter, leading them to ask you for the rules here. Given the option, I feel less pressure on BGG.

The things I said don't really apply for full commercial releases now, I just think there's trend of games aiming at smaller audiences, and audiences having less attention per game. And I may have conflated "good" with "comprehensive" in my first response.

I kind of want to release a game where the rulebook just has my twitter handle and "ask me". But that is definitely more of an art project than a serious product.
