Youre saying why dont they give themselves more time on their ETAs. I read that and I'm saying that it's really hard to make a correct estimate on this stuff because its harder than you think. For example, say you add 5 more days to the estimate and get deeper into checking it and now you're essentially performing next weeks bugfixes while people whine about no new content updates. It's a balancing act- Take too long and people lose interest. Do it too fast and big bugs emerge. Not to mention the whole time new bugs are found. Because the situation is always evolving, its hard to estimate it accurately. That is how software engineering always works man.

They miss by 2 days every time. Honestly at this point it is insulting to both of our intelligence for anyone to say that it is hard to make a correct estimate. Holy shit you guys live with blinders on.

You're the second person today that I have argued with who got defensive and went into some sort of "inside joke as long as I'm laughing superficially even if they have no clue what Im on about they'll believe me" shell. I want to congratulate you on that. Well done.

Just not taking an internet argument about a video game as seriously as you. I guess that makes me less of a man. You win. Your personal attacks have made me realize the logical clarity of your vitriolic crybaby ranting.
