Three times longer? Part of 2.0 was delivered before Christmas 2024 and the rest was delivered July of 2025. If you want to discount the partial release in 2024 then at most the 2.0 update came 7 months late which would be about double the time estimated. A seven month late delivery in software development is not extraordinary and the fact that the game was playable the whole time so that people could still play while they waited made it a lot less impactful.
As I said, the only reason for someone to doggedly hold onto the idea that the current version still counts as 2.0 is purely to claim that they are now almost one year past their estimated delivery date. That's the only way you can get three times longer-- you're counting the additional work they are doing in the 2.x updates as part of 2.0 all to make your claims.
As I said, that's fine for you to believe to keep that anger kindled but that doesn't make it true. 2.0 was 7 months late due to crossplay issues and finishing up the rest of the features they had planned. Stuff like that happens. 3.0 will probably be a year delayed (from when 2.0 released) because they are taking time to do this community update that wasn't planned or scheduled.
I used three time longer as simple math. 6 months per Major Update...a year and a half and no completed Major Update. 3x. You can chop that parsley as fine as you want, it won't change that the entire length of the road map, will have passed, With no completed Major Update. Yes, some of that has been spent fixing 2.0 but even at slightly more than double the time they estimated, I still feel i am not out of line to expect better communication.
YOU keep saying that my motivation is just to make a claim, that the length of the delay is longer, to strengthen my anger?
Crossplay was something that THEY said over and over that they could do. That it was easy. and then they didn't apply for it...because they lost track of time. because that is a pattern of theirs. Bad time management and getting sidetracked. Remember... THEY let us argue about which platform was denying the process when they knew they had not even applied. When they knew that console gamers were waiting eagerly for it.
My motivation is not as simplistic as you want to characterise it....but. I do get WHY you want to discredit me.
3.0 will be a delayed a year? thanks, but...I already know that my calendar works. what I was getting at was will TFP meet the 6 months they gave themselves to do it? will that part happen in the time they originally said they could do it? was 2.0 a hiccup or the norm. at two time longer it's another 2ish years...3x is 3 and a bit more years to finish the game.
They sold this with a tight schedule and then just went back to wandering around like nothing had changed. I'm being told to just relax...it will take as long as it takes, they do not need to change or communicate, but, I see that as an excuse to just not admit that I am right about what my last ban was for.
THEY DID NOT NEED TO USE OVERLY OPTIMISTIC DATES TO SELL THIS TO CONSOLE
they could have just been honest and let US decide if we wanted to give them more money to finish their game in 3-5 years
some would, some wouldn't, but, no one would have any right, to be irate, about anything right now, would they?
