from whats been said on the forum over the last few months thats kind of when i was thinking it would be released hope we get an official announcement soon.

i wouldnt call 25th feb 2011 "very soon" (as oleg stated this week), that's about 6 months away

hopefully they got it wrong and just added a block of time to the release date to keep the peasants from revolting and asking for their money back

that date makes sense. we still haven't seen a website or any mention of a publisher. wish it was sooner though.

The thing is that lots of sites were telling that they know the release date and even taking pre-orders all these years, but so far none was close to truth. Why do you thing this one will be an exception?

That date sounds about right to me. Although i had previously predicted march 2011, still it means that Zapatista will have to eat my shorts... YEHAAA

I'm pretty sure that play.com knows better than Oleg, who just a few days ago posted, that no releasedate was fixed.

So many people with amnesia and non-functional short-term memory.

Lots of people said almost the same about all the different dates they had seen in all these years.

since I offered to share the "shorts-dinner" in case we lose, I think it's only fair if I can send in 50% of my shorts too. lol

6month seems pretty short to me for all the stuff that still has to be done:

- bugfixing and testing
- set up the whole marketing campaign

The goal is probably Xmas, we'll see if they can make it.
