A double edged sword, that. Give no projection and they get accused of ignoring their customer base and withholding information. Try and give a projection and be accused of lying if the target is missed.I disagree. If you are that uncertain about being able to reach a deadline, why bother spouting dates anyway? It always backfires, and certainly when you can't be sure if you will make your deadline. Fans as well as devs need to stop trying to predict what happens in the course of long time periods, especially if the process is that variable.
They're in a no win situation, if you ask me. Personally, Id rather they announce the projection, but I'm the kind of guy who understands the difference between a projection and a promise.
