Confirmed delay? No chance at a Q1 release?

I think we should all just accept it and move on. Distract ourselves with another Hearts of Iron game or something else entirely and wait.
While we are speculating. Keep an eye on Vulkan release and you may see it corresponding with Hoi4's Beta 
Well the planets are aligning, so I would guess it gets released any day now.

I'm not a genius, but I can't wrap my head around 2 interior planets being in the earths night sky. Isn't that physically impossible?

Only at the edge of the night side of the Earth, hence why it happens just before sunrise and Mercury is close to the horizon.
Also keep in mind that Mercury ranges from one third to one half as far from the sun as Earth.
i mean there are only slightly so much info that can be talked about when we have nothing new at hand
I'm so hype about HoI IV I dreamed about Johan announcing they'd release a demo featuring the Spanish civil war only next week.
Then I woke up, realized it was a dream and felt sad.

... I can't believe it didn't make beta in December. We had someone post tester screenshots accidentally on the forums already so I assumed that meant it was in Beta.

Might not even be out in Q2 now, since Johan said it will be released 3-6 moths after beta

But it would be a great idea though, we had a Demo for HOI2 (Battle of the Bulge Scenario), it would cause an upsurge of interest and probably entice those Fans back who 'lost interest' when the Release date was pushed back a year.

Nah, between WWW and Friday's I'm sustaining my lust for war just fine. Let them finish the game properly.
I'd rather see them put their efforts in the game, than in a demo, which has to be bugfree to enjoy. Also: If we get a demo long time before release, i bet that a lot of people here would be complaining some features and how they work by spamming threads here and that the devs should change this or that, because they demand so...
Why? Aslong as we can keep on track we might aswell keep it so we can see anymore news!

A Demo? I haven't seen many developers create a demo for a game in a long time. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. But it's not like how it was 10 years ago. I remember getting my monthly copy of PC Gamer that included a demo disk. This was of course before wide spread adoption of high speed (cable or better) internet and so a 100mb download took 5-10 hours via 56k dial up modem.
Although it depends on when they internally know when the game will release. Like they may be planning for Q2-Q3 at this point internally depending on current development cycle(s), so releasing a demo in the next few months would be "potentially" feasible if they can afford the man power. But I just don't see it happening.
well we did get a demo for eu4 but that was i think about 2 weeks before release .
I loved the times, when the game magazines had their demos. It was great to test the games out. But i don't see a demo coming. And if it comes, it won't be soon... It is more likely imho, that they give copies of the game to Youtubers like Arumba, Quill18 and so on, who will promote and show the game by starting some let's plays. This is a far more cheaper and more stressfree way to grab new customers, since giving away 10 game keys of HOI4 cost pdx literally nothing compared to the fact, that the youtubers reach thousands and thousands of players...
