So if someone buys it based on this implication, should they be irritated or happy?

No. "Should" was specifically stated.

The only discrepancy is people jumping to conclusions and assuming.

Are you sure you know what that word means?...

No. "Should" was specifically stated.

So shouldn't the reply be "It's not ready yet, we honestly don't know when it will be available". The whole thing stops then right? On e is the truth and the other is a lie.

Maybe they should have waited to buy it until after the update released?

They bought it under the knowledge that it won't work, so what makes them entitled to anything?

It was purchased under the pretense of it working "around the corner". Which is fine, waiting a month and a half no problem. Waiting 2 months, kinda pushing it now. We all know what we're waiting for, and no one wanted it. So yes, if you wait 2 months, I think you're entitled to complain about it.

They need to accept that such things are not set in stone. Delays happen. Those messages are not promises, they are projections/predictions.

Software vendors can project release dates all they like, but things do happen and those dates get pushed back. Anyone who deals in the software business understands that.

Any time a customer makes a purchase based on pending information like that, they are taking the risk into their own hands.

Bottom line: if you want to be safe, only buy a product based on its CURRENT capabilities, not PREDICTED capabilities. I have no sympathy for anyone complaining because they didn't follow the most basic rule of caveat emptor.

ITT: entitlement and butthurt. =x

Also ITT: People defending piracy-enablers for using the word "should" instead of "will".

I work in the software business and this is the first time I've seen this many lies go over so well.

ITT "grr where's my update. me me me me me"

 

[planetarian]

It doesn't matter what words they used, honestly. This entire debate is laughable.

There are mails without that "Should" you know. Those mails also seem to have a "will".

Hey guys"Don't worry Be HappY"

Keep waiting

Maybe they wants to make ressellers doing some sales on Gateway card to let there futur buyers to have their stuffs with less bucks
First the Sky3ds and Gateway were at the same price 100 $ !!!
how much is it now ?

 

[salvatore]

will be released ....​

 

[blinkzane]

if you guys really believe that they are "leaking release dates" to get money, then message them telling them you are buying another product or getting a refund and let them know. they have to know that idea is not working as well as they though(of course they could actually be working on it, but ya know how that works)

Exactly....

I've programed in the past (basic stuff mind you) but I'd know when I was roughly done. Might be off by a few days but they've outright lied to keep as many people from jumping ship as possible. They know they don't have a competing flashcard maker with the same feature set hence getting away with it time and time again.

Let him suck up to Gateway. The sad thing is that these people aren't even being paid for this.

People aren't mad that the update is taking long. They are mad because Gateway keeps giving release windows which they fail to meet every time. Maybe they should just keep their mouths shut until it's done? When you release a video showing the exploit a whole 3 months before it's even done, this is what you get.

will be released ....

Yes, that's how updates work.

We should send an email to gateway saying we're going to return our gateways if it isn't released in a week.

What good would that do when they already got their money from the sale?

gateway get money from supplies who buy x amount, returning them won't have an effect on gateway, only the resellers.
