Nobody here owes Zion anything, since we are all pirates. But such plans and deadlines have been made since past 1.5 years and Zion failed to deliver each and every time such a deadline is hit. Like
LazerShark and I said, the storyline in the game and Kain's art (which is gone now) is the only USP for this game. It doesn't have any mechanical complexity or gameplay elements to warrant 4+ years of development time even if it's a single person developing it.
Like I said, there are plenty of things that could be done in 4.1 too, which would show Zion is dedicated to this. But regardless, if you want to simp for him. go right ahead. your opinion is yours, ours is ours.
