As far as I understand it the only thing brought on by the fans was cutting down a 3 month EA to a 1 month EA (which is STILL incredibly long for an EA).
The fans didn’t dictate WHEN it happened they only dictated how long before the non EA would be. So the release date is still on them.
That said, as I’ve said before, while I’m disappointed in their inability to release an actualy RFR (Ready For Release) game I’m not just going to pull my money out. Steam has already said that they will offer a refund to anyone that has any reason for it for this title and I’m still here.
