The decision was taken to continue to develop the title into something more and this is exactly what has happened.
A decision that was neither communicated on the ionomy website nor in the ion whitepaper. For how long will the game be delayed (how many months or years)? It looks like the length of the delay was communicated to the secret whale club but not to smaller investors and interested parties. You, korvas128, think this intransparency is toally normal behaviour for a "business" - which means you are either very stupid or a con artist - and either way you can not be trusted.
It wasn't communicated in secret it was discussed on the general channel in slack and at the time I mentioned it in a post on this thread.
The game is progressing well and will be launched when it's ready currently it's on a 3rd Alpha release soon to move to beta
Let me help you....
