If you gonna release a game or product, you shouldnt announce it too early nor later. If you announce it early you get so much excitement about game even most of hardcore fans get dissapionted when game release and most of people lost their interest during waiting. If announce late, you can't get enough attention on your game and you stuck mostly with your hardcore fan and little community.
This is not kickstarter game and they haven't any obligation to give us, blog or any kind of information, I get that. But they act like this is kickstarter game and they start to release blog's and info about game and they started this too early. So too many players already give up to follow the game. I am here since 2006 and play the game since M&B beta. I will buy bannerlord on day one. But too many people will say "oh bannerlord released 5 months ago, I didnt know that." Well this is why I am upset.
