The only time we can give a reliable shipping date is after the game is done and before it's been released.  That's it.  And even then sometimes unexpected problems come up.  So I guess the only reliable date I can give is just after I've uploaded everything to the servers and just before I've posted it's available. So again, I can either post rough timeframes which may/may not be met, or I can post nothing at all until the game is done.  Those are the two options.  There is no third option
