I was really hoping that their would be more progress with Hailey at the very least before the game ended, but alas no less than a "rushed ending" is all that we will get with that woman.
She doesn't have a planned ending.
Why would it take 3 years?
There are 3 endings left so it will take a few months, they have never been slow on delivering, no idea where you pulled that shit from. It will be all finished up by early next year.
Devs have worked on this for 3 years, they want to move on.
Why would they want to take a year off?
That both loses them money and time to do other things. I see a few people complaining but it's not often someone says something that silly.
