Two points “Roughly this date is a date”

classroom jokes don’t count unless you enjoy being the subject of a joke. Which you may have fun with that.

What about the rest of the points? Just want to ignore that it's pretty normal to not have firm due dates for things?

Mate... I can see this getting down to nit picking and hair splitting fast. What is it you want out of this argument? Someone to admit you're right? A firm date that might or might not be honoured? What would you do if it's vague, like "It will be some time 2023", or if they are more specific, like Q1, 2023 and they miss that date?

As an engineer, I understand that ambiguity doesn't sit well with some people. As a human, part of maturity is knowing what's within our sphere of influence and managing our emotions to allow discomfort with ambiguity not bother us. I can't really give you any advice, and you don't sound like you're in the mindset to accept any offered anyway... But all I can say is that the Devs will release a date when they are ready. And even then, not all promises can be kept. If that makes you uncomfortable, there's little anyone can do for you.

It is. I hope you're happier about making it into a Hitler Video than you might be mad at me for poking fun at the argument.

Nah that’s a great video. I have missed the Hitler videos and that Hitler can easily be me at work.

Listen I’m glad your are the apex guy at work and can get away with stuff like that. Overwhelming majority of us cannot. 
Again when it’s done is not an answer and it certainly is a rude or boarder line trolling answer. We all learned when we were children not to speak like that and expect good results.

I do not like the phrase “When it’s done” in the given context.

LOL. I'm an engineer, nobody reports to me, I can't get away with any more than anyone else. Which is kind of funny, I'm on a product update call right as I type. Caveat at the beginning of the talk "Remember that until you have stock in your hand, you can't promise an availability date for any of these products." So yes, I do "get away" with telling my customers "I'm sorry, I don't have a release date for this product yet". I'm not quite so rude to say it's ready when it's ready, but that's just flippant because this is a game. But in effect, I am saying the same thing.

If you don't like it, you don't like it. My kids don't like seafood based dishes. I've taught them that it's okay to not like it, but they don't have to make a big deal out of it. I guess you missed that lesson as a child?

Not at all. The only one to see contradiction in my posts is you.

Asking if they're going to release more info on the upcoming update is not even in the same ballpark as demanding for a release date.  :rolleyes2:

I would say sort of in the same ballpark.

You are asking for info on the game. Info is info.

Between two of us, Roland is as fan of ziplines as much as me, but he was first to talk about it, so .. I will let him show the test version video of that one. 

Mr. R, why are you walking towards me, smiling.

And why is this ducktape in your hand ?
