Let's play that out then.
You ask today what % is done. Let's say the answer is 90% and they think they will be done in three weeks. The next day, they find out about a horrible bug that needs fixing - say cross saves or anything else you want - and said bug will take a month to fix or they can keep to their initial date.
What % done are they? Did the 90% make you feel better? Did they break a promise by delaying the update to fix necessary issues? Stuff happens like this EVERY DAY in game development. I can promise you it happens on the PC side too, but we have the advantage of being the "source" code.
My "monthly" comment was that - of late, especially since the bringing on of the new CS and CM - the communication frequency certainly seems a lot higher than it once was (i.e. at least monthly). Prior to that, it was far more infrequent - but maybe I'm wrong.....I would have to go look. Regardless, it is a point of emphasis I have raised before and will do so again.
That said, my understanding is that they just have nothing new to say - just making a post to say "we are working away" won't be enough....so then they give a guess at a date and then the risk for the above starts all over again.
I know it sucks, but I suppose I just see both sides of the street here..... /shrug
