That's all very well and good. I'm looking forward to this game and can't wait to get my hands on it.
But the fact remains that we still have "this year" timeframe and the year is almost over, I'm getting concerned that this is going to stretch out into the never ever. In terms of providing more news and updates, you described it as coming soon. That's great! But similar things have been said on these forums for months. Apart from a few screenshots, I really feel like we've seen diddly squat about the game since it was announced, mid-last year.
I love this game and I'm so eager to play it. Please give us a something or at least give us an honest assessment on why new information and even the announcement of the release date never seems to come.
