damn the time I made the purchase, it was supposed to come out last winter, then it was postponed to April, then to May, now hearing from some in June, if it doesn't come out in May via PayPal I ask for a refund, for a matter of respect owed to its customers

HB never said April, they said latest May 31st back in March. The only people saying June are players making things up.

They said they were aiming for April with end of May as a worst case scenario.

Oh the irony

If we're going to be pedants, why don't we come up with claims that are at least funny.

Cobra wasted all the preorder money on a weekend in Vegas, sorry guys, Phantom canceled.
Iron Mike bought a monster truck and there's nothing you can do about.
Grover used the money to help fund his underwater supervillain lair.

There, three to start from.

There are multiple messages from HB with different variations of dates; "aiming for an April release", "in April", "in May", "early Spring".  Since "early Spring" has come and gone, I think that we can scratch that from the list, so either sometime in April (again that can be scratched after Tuesday next week).

Which if the "worst-case scenario" can be believed means release in under 5 weeks.  Of course, anything could happen between now and then so unless HB plan to provide another development update and/or delay announcement, it really is just a case of sit and wait.

Yeah, thats what they stated. Players are making out like them not delivering in April, when they said it could be May as some kind of misleading communication, then making up a June date. It's ridiculous drama over nothing.

Welcome to DCS World, where adult men spin elaborate tales of development impropriety and supposed money laundering within a criminal conspiracy case so boring, it'd make an argument at a flower show seem riveting.

I'm not the one connecting red yarn on a corkboard. But, okay:

A man goes to his doctor. He gets up on the examination able and the doctor asks him what seems to be the issue for him.

Man says he's unbelievably depressed. He says he can never shake the feeling of loneliness in an increasingly hostile society. Everything is so very vague and uncertain. His happiness is so far beyond in the past, as if he were watching it disappear in the rear window of a speeding bus, never to return. The present makes him feel ostracized and isolated with the world so obsessed with profit motives and almost never with the well being of neighbors, choosing to ignore that in the pursuit of money. The future is a nebulous and unknowable certainty, leaving him with an overwhelming sense of dread about what it may hold for him. It has reached a point where he feels unable to move forward, unable to cope with it, and unable to attain a sense of happiness.

The doctor chuckles a little and says "Oh, the treatment is very simple: the great clown Pagliacci is in town and at the theatre, you should go see him. That'll pick you right up."

The man bursts into tears and collapses to his knees before he chokes out "But Doctor, I am Pagliacci."
