Fair enough about it meaning what you want is delayed, well as long as you keep away from something like the jihad mentality people had after Diablo Immortal. Idiots hyped themselves up then somehow feel betrayed, pft. I see game developers trying something new is fine, even if it doesn't appeal to me - it is different from a series changing from what it used to be (I still harbor bitterness over what they did to R6, for example).
And yes, hope is but the first step on the road to disappointment. But I prefer your quote, need that for a poster on my cubicle wall.
