You know what irritates me the most? He keeps giving excuses and details about his personal life. Whether it's a lie or the truth, NOBODY CARES, MAN!
After almost TWO YEARS of unfulfilled promises and deadlines never met, you'd expect him to STOP BEING A STUPID, but that didn't happen.
You have two very simple paths, which is what the vast majority of successful creators do:
1) If you estimate that you need X days, announce that it will be released in 2X days or 3X days. Because that leaves you with plenty of time for any unforeseen events.
OR
2) Don't set a deadline. And in this option, you just give periodic updates on the progress, 10%, 20%,... The ideal here is to lie LESS, that is, if you are 50% ready and say that you are 20, 25%. Again, to have plenty of time for any unforeseen events.
What does the BD do? the complete opposite. he sets goals and deadlines that are practically impossible. obviously, he doesn't meet those deadlines. everyone gets upset. then he writes a huge text justifying himself, giving details of his personal life (again, NOBODY CARES), to justify not being able to meet those deadlines... and then he sets new deadlines that he is again unable to meet. and the whole thing repeats.
