Do you not see the bad reasoning there
If they'd said This week then had to delay it to fix something you'd all throw a huge fit and say they were being dishonest and not forthcoming etc.

I don’t think you understand what a strawman is.You wrote an intentionally oversimplified statement that does not accurately surmise any of the reasons people are frustrated while simultaneously dismissing them. Yep, I'm thinking it checks out, lad. 😉

... summed up in the following statement:Oof, that's a strawman, my dude.

The devs are not in the business of check [sic] dbd fan sites for accurate information.You have to put yourself though some mental gymnastics to believe that the devs or community managers didn't know that people were overwhelmingly expecting a 9/11 release. It isn't about "checking fan sites for accurate information"; that information was being spread here too. Addressing it simply would've been the "community friendly" action.

Why do you wanna get the DLC spoiled?The DLC was spoiled the second it hit PTB and was data-mined; the longer they wait the more people see it. Beyond that, if they want to pretend and you want to believe that they are delaying so there is a "surprise", they could reveal the week and not the day. Anything is better than silence. Well, anything except "Soon™".

I mean wouldn't that ruin the fun?I can't even fathom this.

Is there a reason you can't say if its today or not?I feel for her; it's pretty clear her hands are tied. The "Soon™" thing was out of touch but, bless them, who at Behavior isn't out of touch?

devs not going out of their way"Hey guys, just to clarify the patch will be out _________." Or "Not this week guys! We have to _________."
You are right; that would be really difficult. Sure glad they didn't go "out of their way" on that.Bottom line, silence causes more frustration than transparency.

bad PR for them to release this dlc on 9/11 anyway?Oh, right. September eleventh. Who could forget the infamous day when 2000 people lost their lives after a bullet train derailed in Kagoshima? Or were you referencing that nut-job in Kagawa who murdered his wife and daughter?
Right. I can see the problem now... how insensitive of Behavior Interactive.

There was an easy way to avoid upsetting anyone: just let players know what is going on and when to expect the content; they have that ability no matter what on PC, even if there was uncertainty for the console release date. They knew the prevailing supposition was that it would be the 11th and they let the rumor persist when even a single tweet would've diffused it.
Anyway, what bothers me is the silence goes beyond feigning secrecy or surprise because there is nothing in the patch that isn't known so playing that game with the community comes off a bit sour. It seems to me there is an ulterior motive hidden somewhere in their silence and I suspect it is that they are delaying the PC release until the garbage console back-end is sorted. Irksome at best if publicly stated but insulting when contrived.

Making PC players wait because Sony has a cumbersome update system feels bad.
They probably want to make some money off the new PSPlus players and are trying to avoid making them wait. Pretty-standard, PC-game-is-now-on-Console, developer tactics.
