Hi Dallas, Yeah, good point. Mainstream companies usually don't give advanced warning of when they are releasing something and when they do its usually pretty near complete. They might advertise something and offer a pre-order sale like a week or so in advance but they don't announce something one or two years in advance and leave people hanging in the wind until then. By that time people will have forgotten the game and will have moved onto something cooler.
Cheers!
