Sooo i tried clicking on the torrent link to download and it seems that is broken, am i doing something wrong or the torrent one is broken indeed
It works (just checked). You have to save the torrent file (right-click and save as...) on your computer, then you can open it with your preferred torrent client.

So they've lost half of their team and they're not sure they'll hire enough talented people to add to it. Delay into 2023…

its 2 weeks and 5 days past their 3-4 month commitment. Not the end of the world.
Considering the circumstances, a delay is completely understandable, however their communication on this has been abysmal. They are fuelling the constant whining of the community by consistently overpromising and underdelivering, they set unrealistic deadlines, announce them, and then wait to announce a delay until the last possible moment, when they could have saved so much face by simply being transparent a week or so earlier.

They didn’t set a date until now though. Folks assumed November because they said they were aiming for it, but that was not a guarantee. Every other update has had a date announced weeks in advance, so if it was gonna be the end of November, we’d have heard something earlier in the month.

Don't want to sound like some hater, but to me it seems Subverse is dying if not agonizing already. My pessimistic prognosis is, we can consider ourselves lucky if we get one more update after Fortune, and another one if gods and the universe allow that to happen, and that's it. If things keep going as they are now, the final version never happens. Would be glad to be wrong, though...

True they said they were only 'targeting late november', but by the same token, from the situation the dd describes they should have known pretty quickly that was not feasible, and the fact that the delay is almost 4 weeks proves that. They had every chance to be transparent with the community and announce a delay much earlier. They chose not to. It fits a pattern of really poor communication that has been an issue ever since early access began.

its 2 weeks and 5 days, but guess we gotta exaggerate for some reason. Just for the heck of it I went digging to see at what points they'd securely announced a date:

Ela - announced on October 10th for October 25th
Taron - stated to be on track February 21st, confirmed for March 11th on March 2nd on twitter
Sova part 1 - Twitter post stated end of the month May 23rd, arrived May 30th (it may have been listed in the first trailer, but that sadly didn't stay up on youtube, only temporarily on one of the staff's channels)
Sova part 2 - announced June 21st for July 25th

From the lowest being about a week, to the earliest being a month, they always give you a secure date ahead of time. Could they say something sooner, sure. But at the same time, history's shown what they tend to do, so the closer it got to the end of the month, the more it should've been apparent they weren't gonna make it. So all we could do is wait to hear why. And they explained themselves pretty fairly.

That the delay is really short in comparison to even most AAA games (need we remember how many times Cyberpunk's date was pushed, and that was for a 'complete' game) and this is relatively nothing. We'll have to wait and see what how the next hiring wave goes, but many folks will be taking breaks for the holidays, so we'll see how the state of things are in the new year.

Also that 'pattern of poor communication' is pretty much how FOW's operated since the beginning. Far back as the patreon the usual posts were wip, wip, wip, trailer, release. No random chit chat, they just work until there's something to show.

Wow the game is dead in the water.
They're probably spending more money paying shills for damage control than their own staff, no wonder why half of them have left.
Remember when the game was announced, how they wanted to do an "old-school gaming experience" and they made fun of modern gaming with it's micro-transactions? Their kickstarter page still says "Estimated delivery: Jun 2019".
More than 3 years after their "estimate" and the game isn't halfway done, they've lost more than half of their staff and they're going to sell merch...
