  There is a reason why many developers keep quiet about their games, and I think that is something this particular developer is learning now. 

 

This is very true. On the one hand, it's really unfortuate that developers have to be extremely careful with their words or remain completely silent about development for fear of backlash if plans change or they can't deliver. On the other hand, when a game is early in development and so far from release you should keep your publically stated ambitions in check.
