Ubi aren't the only publisher, but as far as you're concerned 1C could have released it, and everyone could be playing it, but it wouldn't be official. Ok.

If Luthier had of posted in the IC forums that the system specs would be out shortly, we would have taken it as a promise and would expect the system specs in the next few seconds. And if it didn't all hell would break loose.

He couldn't possibly have said 'we hope to have the system specs out shortly, but no promises'?

It doesn't matter how he phrases his statements, its ALWAYS taken as a promise, here and at UBI forums.

So what makes you think that his facebook comment will be taken any differently?

Probably won't be taken differently but posting there, where there is currently far less traffic does not immediately cause an onslaught of invective of ubizoobie rabies. Must be a bit scary popping your head above the parapet round here...

Replace the word "UBI" with "Any Publisher". I'm saying there's a difference between an official announcement from the marketing machine and some tidbit updates from the developer. Ilya is under no obligation to "pre-post" anything here before facebook, and I'm sure once the specs are available he'll be courteous enough to post them here first.
