Q2 isnt march, it's april may june

march is around Q2

Yah, march is Q1. They said "around Q2" but they don't mean any earlier, that's pretty obvious.

Around Q2 does not mean Q2 specifically; it could be slightly earlier.

Right, but the guy I replied to said, "They just said it will be around Q2, which means it will probably be in march or april."

I think saying that it'll "probably" be in the end of Q1 or the very beginning of Q2, when all we have to go off is "around Q2," is way too optimistic, especially considering FG's track record of delaying this game (not that that's a bad a thing or I'm opposed to it in any way, that's just a hard fact). Even if we were to get it in march, which technically is Q1 but still "around Q2," that would be a 5-6 month delay from the original release time.

Keeping this in mind, when FG gives us a window of time that the game might be released in, I think it's much more likely to be released later on than earlier. Think about it from the devs' perspective. They have 3 entire months (if not more, thanks to "around") to get this game to us, that's a lot of wiggle room. If every person here were given an assignment to write a paper, and given 3 months to turn it in, the vast majority would turn it in near the end. That's my logic here.

Then again I could be wrong, they could pump the game out in less then a month, but again, don't think that's very likely or even a good thing for the game: more time = more polish = better game.
