NJPW Collaboration DLC: Change of Release Date

It's not even guaranteed that the original audience will wait forever. I'm sure if they said something like "we'll be pushing all the DLC and updates to PS4 before the PC gets anything", they would find significantly less people waiting around when they finally did update the PC version.
At this point it's just taking the loyalty of the PC player base for granted; only reason I can see why the PC crowd is always kept in the dark on potential issues until the last moment.

While creating a new console fan base is important, they need to remember to keep the PC players in the loop (at least) as they will be the player base that Spike has to rely on for remaining DLC sales if/when the console version flops. If the game doesn't go over well on PS4, how many console players do you think will bother paying for the remaining DLC?

I mean, at least MDickie put out gameplay. Spike can't even claim that.

As a coder myself and after experience in that field, the worst thing you can do for your product is set a concrete release time or date. #1 mistake companies make, especially when you're a small team early into development like FirePromoter evidently was. 9/10 times, it's going to be delayed. Without question. I see it all the time outside video games (and this is why it happens in video games a majority of the time). Spike was extremely foolish to do that and it's egg on their face, but it's a learning experience for them. I, and many others I know, learned the hard way as Spike has now.

I'm new to FPW as of this game. I bought into it in Early Access because it looked pretty sweet. In my opinion it's giving them an out by saying, "We should be lucky we got it at all". They have given us timelines that they've yet to even get close to. I bought into this with whispers of a promoter mode. Each time we got close to it, it got pushed back. It seems like they've got to know more about how long these delays are that they should be aware they won't hit their deadline or even come close. I understand the love and support from the guys that have been there from the beginning. I understand wanting to defend them. Everyone has their opinion. Mine is that they've done a completely shitty job of communicating anything about this game. I have been dying to get my hands on a promoter mode that to be quite honest, I think this time next year we'll still be wondering when it'll release. That's me being optimistic.

Again, I understand the love and I fully expect that I'll have people hate my opinion. That's fine, we can agree to disagree. Even a small development group should be held accountable for shitty communication.

There wouldn’t be a problem had Spike simply not announced release dates until they were confidentently ready to release.

Only to repeat it all over again when the next DLC item is delayed. ;)
