May be as simple as publisher contracts preventing this, and the issue of handling a huge number of bug reports/feature requests/complaints that can be expected.

Is here still someone beleving on the easter Bunny ??

We've already had this party in the past muffinmn100, and as Tree says, no chance at all.

I do not believe in the easter bunny but I do believe in his chocolate bunnies

You say prediction I think its more like Trees pessimism...

His apparent knowledge of the release date has turned into him into a bit of a bighead on these forums and have lead to ridiculous threads like this one

why doesn't he just STFU and wait quietly like most other ppl.

Actually so far he has a zero percentage success rate. He said the sim wouldn't come out until 2009 and he was wrong. He also said it wouldn't come out until 2010 and he was wrong. I do think he will be right about 2011, but wrong about 2012. He has got get it right once, but that doesn't make him well informed. LOL

Their has never been an official release date...so where's the mystery with repeating the facts? I can do that...watch.

Everyone says the game will be released tomorrow...YOU KNOW who you are!!!!

I say it will NOT be out tomorrow!!!! 24 hours from NOW I will be "right"!!!! And you all will be wrong!!! I win...

I did that for DCS and can't even run the damn game despite being already Beta 5.. index errors and whatever all over. The experience has really spoiled the A-10 wait on my behalf.

I prefer to wait for the final release whenever it's ready. If we're looking at end of Q2 2011 or later release I'm curious what's Oleg's motivation of giving any 'Were very very close' etc messages at all as his ability to predict release dates is about as bad as it comes in the gaming industry.

False hope is a terrible thing and makes the wait even tougher. I'm happy with friday updates and the dialog with development team and then come up with a date when you got the package wrapped in plastic in your hands ready to be shipped to stores.

I still however hope that the I'm proven wrong and that our understanding of 'very close' is similar and we'll see the release in Q1.
