Inofficial release date

[nurf]

End of march 2016.
Source: Sort the steam store for upcoming games by release date.

I assume the steam store requires you to set a specific date and in addition to that you can enter a description text for that date, e.g. like "Coming soon" or "2016".
So the good news is, someone was forced to enter a specific date.

Or they just used Q1 as a placeholder/estimate.

Doubt it.

Why are we still speculating on a release date? It's pointless. The game will be done when it's done; let's wait for an official announcement or something reliable surfaces that gives us new information.

IMO 26/9/2016 9:00 GMT.

Do we bet on it and give the pool to the one who guesses closer?

 

[mdw1985]

These release date threads get annoying

 

[Caesar15]

I do hope you're right.

I support a bet thread. The winner should get a copy for free.

In my memories steam too previously said release in march 2015. I am pretty sure it is a place holder.

What else are we forumites supposed to do with our idle time?

We complain about release date and drool as they dangle a product we may never see in front of our eyes.

Maybe this is just a ploy to make us all refresh the steam page until we can finally pre order!

Im not in favor of having 10+ threads speculating on the release date, but every time I see one I must admit to thinking: at least others are just as excited/hyped/impatient to play the game as me

Check http://steamspy.com/app/394360 it looks like thy are testing it with a few hundred people. Just not beta testing it.

The release date won't be announced any time soon.

Play Darkest Hour

Play Darkest Hour

I thought about digging through my old CD collection (or just buying it cheap on steam). But I started looking at old screen caps and was like. "Man how did I ever play this".

Then realized HoI3 and other titles (EU3 and 4, CK2) have spoiled is all.

Play any other Paradox game, or just any good game in general.

Or actually contribute in a meaningful way (such as making suggestions for the game, discussing game mechanics and what we've seen so far, etc.). Just blankly throwing out estimates for release dates does not improve the game, doesn't create any interesting discussion, and does not speed up game development.

Pure speculation is a waste of time.

You can't really contribute in a meaningful way unless you are the developer or at least a tester of some sort.

I mean the dev's could take ideas from we forumites but I haven't seen a Dev blog where they state exactly that. Would be nice to hear if that were the case.

@inteljoe you can respectfully disagree all you want, but Johan has said on twitter that the release date won't be announced soon.

I never said it was going to be released soon.

You disagreed with my post where I said the release date won't be announced soon as if it were my opinion (in which case disagreeing would be 100% acceptable), but like I said, it's not my words but Johan's.
