Hi Ashilta,
Those kind of questions are like "daily" in this forum. Wags carefully skip those so i wouldn't expect an answer. Maybe if you lucky, he'll show up and play evasive.
ED has a good communication on their product, and apart from NTTR, all their announcement were quite accurate. I come to believe that whenever they will be able to commit to something, they will let us know. But those announcment usually come late in the development, when things are nearly ready.
Don't desperate, the only way to keep up with release date is to not publish the release date until you actually release :) A quick look at 3rd Party sections will show you that most 3rd parties have their timeline late by a year or two. :D ED is smart to not play with customer expectations.
