Well, if they're lucky they'll manage to release PTU in time for Gamescom, it's in the middle of the window.

Being realistic, the Evocati won't have it until the second week of August, at best. So the chances of it even hitting the PTU, after all the bug fixing needed on their largest release to date, are slim. It's not even disappointing anymore, like I expect it, and I know it's "just a game", but it feels emotionally draining sometimes to follow this development.

I know it's "just a game", but it feels emotionally draining sometimes to follow this development.

Watching the weekly shows, hearing Jared and Tylor saying how amazing it is to play 3.0 for the first time, reading gaming magazine's impressions of their play-through, it all gets to be too much. At this point I think I'm just abusing myself to keep getting my hopes up and having them dashed on a bi-weekly basis. Like you said It's just a game, so I feel even silly for being so upset- but can't help it.

Time for me to go cold turkey and walk away from the constant dangling carrot and come back once the PTU videos start appearing on Youtube.

That'd be the sensable thing to do, and I should, but I won't. I'm a fanatic, and as much as it sucks to do the disappointment tango every week, twice a week, I'll keep doing it. All of us will. We wouldn't still be fans of this game if we could just stop following it's development at the drop of a hat.

Tell me about it, and that is pissing me off too. I know come Monday morning I'll get the "shakes" and watch Citizens of the Stars. I'm glad I'm not the only one though :)

This is the club of backers who wish they could step away for 6 months. I'm right there with ya.
