Give a deadline, if you guys get close but are unable to meet it, delay to another deadline. The players don't want to be kept in the dark, and they would appreciate this more.

Like I suspected. The release date is depending on the...other game's release date. Makes sense though.

It's win-lose based on if you hit or miss it unless the target date does not fall under the reasonable definition of "soon".

Examples.

Dominion to be released on 9/12/11.

Hit the date. Win.
Miss the date Lose.


or


Dominion to be released on 12/25/11.

Lose.


So unless the date is not actually within a couple weeks of PAX you have a win-lose. If it's beyond that you already lost because it has been stated that it will be soon after Pax.


This is a chance to gain back some credibility when Riot gives target dates rather than saying "We have no credibility so we don't want to keep fueling that fire." You are accepting no credibility rather than trying to change the perception to a more favourable one.

Chances are they believe that can finish dominion before all the conventions they want to show it off at, if that were to happen then the hype they want to put out at events like PAX would be reduced, hence a loss for putting it out.

Valve has still made deadlines. I'm not talking about hitting every deadline.

Tell me the last one you've heard Riot say? I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

If they hit the deadline and it turns out bad (because they rushed the design or implementation of it) or it is extremely buggy then everyone will complain how bad it is. You will see like tons of forum topics about how Riot should have tested it better or Riot should have polished it more before they release it.

And if they miss the deadline then everyone will complain why Riot is lying to them about releases (for example: Magma Chamber).

Sounds reasonable. I'm just hoping said deadline isn't next year.

Spectator mode was supposed to be soon after Dreamhack. =/

That's exactly how I feel. They pretty much refuse to even TRY to get their credibility back.
