yes but he never said what year!!!!! meaning he never said 2021 so ICSTOR's "this year' could be 2030
Okay...I know you dislike him but this joke is getting old and boring now...
Also he quite clearly said THIS year, so it's pretty obvious what he meant. He doesn't need to say the numbers to verify. That's just how the English language works. You can find loopholes in his statement if he was being vague or ambiguous, but he wasn't. He said quite definitively that it was THIS YEAR as he wanted to "wash his hands" with this game despite it being his cash cow.
Edit: Not only did he say
this year he also said
sooner much rather than later giving us the impression that it was going to be a summer release (clearly not...), then he switched to this episodic format. At this point anything is possible, this guy can't even stick to his word, I don't even think we'll get the full game but it will stop at a point and he will flirt with the idea of a "DLC" expansion to finish off the endings.
