June 12th
Sooner than I expected.
Thank you everyone who participated and gave feedback on the PTB! We are excited to announce that our target date for the 2.0.0 release on PC is June 12th. Due to the certification process, PS4 and XBOX players will get the update in the upcoming weeks. We will keep you informed.

Patch 2.0 with the new chapter?
So you would force PC players to wait as punishment because Microsoft and Sony require a certification process while Valve doesn't?
Seems fair.
There are a lot of games that release patches and DLCs on pc before console. This is nothing new and its not a slap in the face. While many games will hold off pc release until they get console cert, does not mean they have to or should. I see no problems with PC getting the release first.
Easiest way to show your displeasure is to not buy the chapter or buy the packages for the store. Grind your way through. Don't fund the game is the only way your voice is heard. People may not like hearing that, but all the complaints people have about balance changes, nerfs and buffs can be heard if you refuse to sink another dime in to the game until real progress is shown to change these things. It has been two years. Two years of the same arguments and problems. Two years of being ignored. Time to make a statement.
Let the PC players be my little guinea pigs and test things for me.

You know this is not due to Behavior, but because of Microsoft and Sony right ?

Well, no one denied it truly sucks.
Because it does. Especially since there's not PTB on console.
I hope you get your stuff in due time!
If you have to complain about when an update comes out to a game, just get a pc. You have a console for a reason and they have reasons to why they can't release updates right away on consoles. Cause they are not through steam.
Edit: Just read the rest of the thread and you saw your mistake.
They did talk about this in a previous stream.
The main issue is that it's not only paperwork. They need to give a full patch package IN ADVANCE to Sony and Microsoft, so they can check it out if there's nothing faulty or offensive or anything, in their own rules, for several days.
So they basically can't "prepare" for it, sadly.
They just finished the patch a few days ago, after the PTB, so they couldn't "prepare" for it
The only way would be to actually delay the PC release because of Sony & Microsoft tantrum.
June 13th hotfix: We found the clown's repeated laughing was too triggering for some players so we removed him from the game.
