I think this whole article is hypocritical.
Not a week goes by without Gamesradar posting a feature about "Things we'd like to see in the next ... game." Yet this article seems to condemn a developer from seeking input from the people who will end up consuming the product.
Your frequent articles always lay out exactly what kind of changes you'd like to have implemented in the next installment in a series: can we assume that you'd be unhappy if these changes were not put in place? But should a developer actually ask your opinion on the very same subject, they're accused of "becoming afraid of their own voice"? This doesn't quite add up to me.
Furthermore, unless you're actually a fan of the game series, you're unlikely to be following the twitter page, so why not ask for feedback from the core audience of fans, as it's going to be them playing the game.
Gamesradar already published a feature about the next game in the series. So, please, explain to me, why are you condemning the makers for seeking some fan input, when you so clearly want to be listened to when you publish features entitled: Mass Effect 4 – Where we want to see the franchise go next (7th March 2012)
