  1. In that case, somebody needs to tell the launcher that it's not set in stone. As of today, the launcher still says "Our upcoming expansion Legacy of the Sith, launches free to all subscribers on December 14th, 2021!" If I hadn't checked the forums, I'd *still* be thinking the expansion was launching on Tuesday. But, yeah. Totally honest. Not set in stone at all. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ErpEV10ruUCg3-v9Oy4uxu_1utaXD_oE/view?usp=sharing
  2. Without a term such as "target" or "planned," saying that something is coming out on a specific date *does* exclude the possibility of a delay. Compare the delay of Warhammer 3, where the target was moved from the end of 2021 to 2022. No specific date had been given (the term was a release "window"), and therefore everybody knew it was fluid and subject to change. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1142710/view/2977431418075320622 *That's* how you avoid lying. Or whichever form of dishonesty you want to call it. Misrepresentation, exaggeration, overconfidence -- take your pick.
  3. Actually, putting out an official release date for the expansion and failing to actually release it on that date is, in fact, lying to us. This is because it was relaying information that was not factually accurate. Had they couched it in terms of "hopeful" or "target" release date instead of letting pretty much every pc gaming website (and, as I recall, the game's own launcher) proclaim an official release date on the internet, you might have a case.
  4. Option 3: DON'T tell people that if they are subscribed on a certain date, they will have the expansion pack, unless they will have the expansion pack if they are subscribed on that day. I'm fine if they delay it for five years . . . right up until they give a definite, public release date. At that point, they've given a promise that they either have to: 1) keep; or 2) break. There's no way to win in that situation, but the idiocy was publicly announcing a release date. They put *themselves* in the position where it was impossible to win.
  5. So those of us who subscribed in anticipation of the stated release date are SOL?
  6. People fooled themselves into believing that because it had spaceships and lasers. Any time you have magic, even if it's in space, you're watching a fantasy. The problem wasn't helped by Timothy Zahn writing things that *were* more in line with science fiction, confusing it even further.
  7. Sleeping with someone until you get pregnant has wandered far to the side of "meaningless." I believe that a person can reach the state of being capable of having meaningless sex. What's less certain to me is whether a person can start out that way.
  8. What's under debate is whether it's possible to have the one without the other. I can't claim I wasn't angry at someone when I punched them last week just because I'm not angry with them today. Neither do I think it's valid to claim a lack of attachment merely because you aren't feeling it now. Attachment happens in the moment of, thus one of the common expressions for sex is "having" someone.
  9. Indeed. The whole "sex is allowed, just not attachments" is sophistry at its finest. It's a convenient excuse for indulging in a passion and pretending it's all okay after.
  10. It's good to know that she didn't form any attachment to the guy at all. I'm sure she was completely dispassionate through the whole process.
  11. My mind wasn't that blown. If there's anything I've learned through years of Star Wars games and EU, it's that no Jedi in the history of the order has ever actually slept in their own bed.
  12. It's almost like he typed "genre" instead of "game," or something . . .
  13. Not to derail, but I think from now on I need to call the story of the expansions . . . Knights of the Feet.
  14. That's still pretty equal with Khem Val, who I seem to recall telling me at least once that he intends to find a way around the bond so he can kill me.
