why are people defending gateway with this "oh well they're not web developers they surely can't setup a server"?
I find it difficult to believe they can't do a simple setup like Smealum has done, and to say a "team" of people who have a clear understanding of several coding languages can't manage that?
Hogwash, gateway are just filling people's heads with nonsense to make them buy their product before it's ready.
"It'll be done when it's done" - Commodore4Ever
Just accept the fact that the exact date, nor a general date can truly be known, all you have to do is know that it will be done when it's done.
Also gateway know exactly what they were doing by telling people it was coming soon™, haven't any of you heard of Blizzard, and their usage of soon™? They had players waiting years after an announcement of "soon"
We just need to stop everybody thinking "Oh, maybe it's today

?" and just make everybody realise it's not going to be any faster than the time it takes to do it - In short; It's done when it's done, just be relieved when it is actually released.
Just stop defending this clearly shady business, not only are they shady but they're very happy with doing things which are in a "morally grey" area. So if they take off one day and decide to never do anything ever again, well you were told.
There's all of the possibility that the gateway team were in actual fact just baiting lots more people into a purchase so that they could just 'run with the money' as it were, given the wololo article, the sheer numbers of people who would be interested in a gateway post version 4.5 3ds would be a staggering amount of money.
Y'know... Not to bring a huge downer on the subject, but it's entirely possible given their outlook on laws.
