Completely agreed. Internet culture can be so juvenile. All the stuff about "lying insiders", "lazy devs", "[game_title] is the best]", "[console_name] sucks", "getting away with...", "devs should give us..." sounds like they come from the mouths of 15 year olds. Real life is not middle school, alright?No one IIRC reporting on this is lying intentionally, reporting on industry news is their job. The way people treat these reports as if they are personally being attacked is unhealthy, and it's being fanned by bad actors as well.
You never know, of course, but the end of March has become a trusted release slot for games that didn't make it out in time for the holidays. Doom Eternal, Animal Crossing and Kirby spring to mind. It's a way to delay a game but still have it's launch week in that financial year.It is not a stretch to say BOTW 2 isn't making this FY, it effectively a certainty. Nintendo FY ends on March31, Spring starts March 20th. BOTW2 isn't launching in those 2 weeks.
So for a game delayed out of 2022 to "Spring" I think March is a reasonable assumption.
