Fans rejoice when companies share internal roadmap strategies... they too feel like they are investors! And surely they are! What wonders await for them beyond these 1200 X 675 pixel jpgs!? One can only imagine what clues hide in the the codename Polaris? Canis Majoris! Sirius! Long term strategic growth outlooks! Logos with project codenames! How will the excitement be contained? How will they sleep at night? Soundly, I would say, in dreams, t-posed and headless and floating over a dystopian city towards the constellation of Orion!

"If they’re anything like me, we can realistically expect that around March 8, and the boxout and captions will be missing."

Cold, cold flashbacks to hell times. Have you heard the one about the journo who didn't submit enough copy, so just cut and pasted the article a second time into the same doc hoping the editor wouldn't notice? Brrrrr.

You put everything I thought while reading the news on Twitter, into words. Sure, everyone can play Cyberpunk and reallly enjoy it now, and also the story was always great! But, they are just announcing too much to believe in them. Great read, as always! Also, I was thinking and can't name a CD Project game that came out without trouble at launch, but it always ends up working for them in the end and it feels like Cyberpunk will be the same. So I guess that's where they get that confidence. I'm not saying that's a good thing though.

I’m assuming these announce-a-thons are CDPR and Ubisoft plumping themselves up for a buyout?
