I understand what you mean about giving numbers. My hype train ran out of steam. I just wish there was some indication, or at what stage of development they are at or what they have left to complete. All in all, it would kinda give us an idea of when we can expect a release. Saying "sometime in 2016" is way too broad. Personally, I understand if a deadline is not met and I deal with that type of stuff all the time to know that the deadline is usually never met, although I know many other people get uspet when it gets pushed back further.
I knew that the "before the end of 2015" was likely not going to happen, but it was a goal. That makes me think that if the goal was a release in 2015 then it should not be too far away.
I know the dev's like to not release many spoilers, which I find unfortunate, but even like a dev blog could be kinda helpful for those of us sitting on the edge of our seats.
IDK. Soon enough I will just end up forgetting about these games.
