I understand what you're saying here and I respect the way you put it, I just disagree with you and I think that the fact that I listen to the podcast even though it's not live because I usually am at work during those hours, I get a better sense of what is going on and hence my issue with some people in the PR team not setting the record straight sometimes.
When it comes to information from what I can see in Discord anyone that is not Starke or that Erin chick is damn near useless. I never ever seen Muku or Lyla talk ever although I understand that's not their job but even if it's something hentai scene related I've never seen them type a single word, I never seen Issac talk outside of the bug report room and the rest of the PR team or collaborators or whatever they call them are pretty useless most of the time, particularly in this forum. Maybe I'm just missing something.
If you want to know what caused the delays I can actually sum it up a bit. He went for an initial estimate that was way off, Issac did say he was way off in the podcast and Starke later admited that it was just wishful thinking, that was the October release and he announced a late November early December release or something along those lines and right after that the CG team was evicted and all the work ceased for over a month. If you check the previews channel you will notice that nothing was released there between the periods of November 4th and February 22nd so I'm going to guess they had it pretty rough and it's real life, it happens and it must've sucked for them. They are not a huge team so if someone can't perform it's a much bigger hit than these triple A teams with hundreds of employees that some people keep comparing them to.
From there we went to the vote where Starke wanted to add a "couple" more scenes which are actually 5 and apparently counting, we clearly have a different meaning for the word couple but the followers voted to have them added and at the end of the day it's the guy's game, if he wants to perfect it, if he wants to release a better version of it or whatever are his reasons then you just have to accept it or move on and by you I mean you all not you in particular. There are other options and the fact that he is this overachiever perfectionist is why some of us actually love his games other than the alternatives but what you can't deny is the amount of work they clearly put into their games and like they explained in the last podcast it's really easy to tell where all the work and all the man hours have went to once you hear him explaining but yeah, after this addition of scenes his prediction was March 15th but it could go all the way to March 17th and then Thursday last week or whatever he got Covid. That's it.
I am still hopeful for a March release, I hope to God we have a March release but it's really not that hard to empathize, understand or even relate. What I really do care about is the quality and I hope all this work translates into an amazing game because I love shota but also because I want this patch to get out of the way because I am super excited for Bloodlust and Journey Abroad, not as much for the Christmas patch but I'll take what I can get!
