I think this is the most important part. I don’t think EHG has ever intentionally mislead people (as far as I’m aware), but things change, plans that were made in the past aren’t always viable when you get further down the road.
There can be changes outside of one’s control (like Apple changing their chips to risc from x86), to your original plans for end-game content (Lost Memories, Epoch’s Call, etc) not panning out as you develop the game and gain more experience as a studio, but none of those could/should be classified as “intentionally misleading” 'cause #### changes and anyone who has had a job (software development or not) should be aware of this concept.
It does sometimes feel as though you’re damned if you do (release timelines, planned features, generally communicate about the future) and damned if you don’t (get slammed for being uncommunicative).
You also don’t know what #### the universe is going to throw in your direction at an undefined time in the future.
