I know several people, who would love to get HoI4 for Xmas - even if its only as a preorder. So, IMO it would be great if PI started preorders soon.

At this stage they should be refining the final product and carrying out bug-fixing as there is a Closed Beta going on.
Would love to preorder, even more so, a preorder bonus! Even if it's just a cool shiny forum badge (like the CK2 preorder badge).

While watching it is nice, its also frustrating. Hopefully PI release this game soon (real soon, not Valve/Paradox/Tesla "soon").

It looks like it needs another three to six months of work, so I'm not sure a pre-order right now is ideal.

How can you determine that, how do you see that it needs 3-6 more months?
Edit; to me it looks fairly finnished

3-6 months to do what exactly?
Money doesnt grow on trees and HoI4 expected sales (compared to HoI3) wont be monumentally larger...

dart board. One theory is he had 2 darts, threw them and they landed on the 3 and 6, so he decided that was a good estimate

You really can't argue with a fanboy, can you? The game looks good, but it evidently needs more work. Presumably it will get a Q1-2 '16 release, which equates to 3 - 6 months more work.
Grow up. Seriously.

I don't see anything, which would justify a bug squashing time of 6 months...3 months after about one month of Beta already is more likely though....

Sounds a reasonable estimate. I suppose it depends how much polish they want to give it, and - crucially - whether they find any major issues between now and then. It's possible they may feel that a particular feature needs reworking or updating as a result of beta tester feedback, for example.
But yeah, I think three-ish months sounds about right. I guess we'll see soon enough, as I can't imagine it will be too long until Paradox announce a release date.

Agree! Maybe the Christmas holidays could push it a bit back...
Either that or they ended up in his third and sixth fingers.

LOL.
Yeah, it would be nice just to pre-order it for us enthusiastic people. They are tweaking the game even between World War Wednesdays however. The cost of civilian factories dropped to about half, while converting them to military factories went up by more than three times. That and I can imagine all the other tweaks that go on from a day to day basis.
My guess is what a lot of people are saying February or March for final release. If they dare to show the game like on Wednesdays then I assume that it's in a fairly stable condition and the last real thing that it needs is playing it a lot to find all the bugs, and to work out game mechanics balance issues. A lot of people have commented on how certain ships, aircraft, and tanks are not quite in the right places for Britain, so I'd also guess that for just about all the major nations there might be other issues with them as well.

Whatever you do for a living, you're in the wrong job. You really ought to be on the stage.

Me: look, when HOI4 comes out, I will make a carboard cutout of me so you won't forget about me
Wife: sure, it's not like HOI4 is coming out any time soon anyway
Me: *cries*
