Are you serious? After East VS West and now this I'm considering ragequitting on Paradox for a while.

You are free to ragequit until Q2 :) When a release date is written in quarters its not supposed to be accurate, its just there to give you a rough idea. Remember a single day delay would push a Q1 release to a Q2...

I don't think that additional month or two will dramatically reduce the amount of bugs if we already know that they started working on HoD in 02.2012

Its been in development since start of november '12 after the team finished with HOI3: TFH. An extra month is HUGE when it comes to polish for our small team.

The main reason for delay is that the entire office has been sick in something that can only be the second coming of the Black Death.

Except the delay isn't going to be a single day and now that you've pushed it to Q2 that gives you the time slot to release it on June 31st if you wanted to (something I can see happening).

A June release would make me very sad because it would ruin my vacation :(

While I support in 100% the sentiment of "it'll be out when it's done", holding on to my money I saved up for Heart of Darkness will get increasingly difficult after the release of Heart of the Swarm :(

to make it easier: They still havent brought back Reavers. :(
