<strong>C</strong> onsidering the fact that you are reading this blog means your a Gamer who happens to read Gaming news, am I right?
Well that is the whole reason for naming this blog TBA Hell!
Let me explain...
We are what some would refer to as "Gaming Enthusiast!" You might be asking yourself what exactly a Gaming Enthusiast is and trust me don't bother trying to figure that out, cause most likely it don't matter anyhow. There are a dozen different answers to that Question and they never truly can categorize everyone into a neat package.
None the less since you are one apparently, So you can or soon will understand the treachery of being such.
Viewing online screen-shots/trailers/game-pla y video's/previews or even slash opinion oriented articles well before your fanatically crazed hands set touch to the retail game or even have any idea of when you might have the chance of getting it is <strong>HELL, TBA HELL </strong>to what I assume, the vast Gamer population.
Is this a curse that plagues us "Gaming Enthusiast's?" or Perhaps a Gift?
I'll let you decide that one, but one things for sure in the world of Release Dates
The way they go about releasing such plans hasn't and isn' t changing.
One of the more annoying and persistent problems with release dates is Online Retailers. Some of you might already be aware of this, but sometimes... Retailers like to add release dates to there online listing so they can generate pre-order business! I know, I know... Who would do such a thing right? Well as it turn's out money is important to these guys for whatever reason and they can take advantage of your pre-order money to make more money or fluff there profits margins.
But I must <em>stress </em>the fact that these retailers can quite often receive and list the Real Confirmed Release Date before anyone else in the media gets the word. This is due to publisher priorities I can only assume and once again, I believe its guided by the green stuff that makes the world go something something!
There are many more reasons why Release Dates remain TBA for what seems to be forever and I will do my best to help clarify what other Factors come into play in those regards in the future!

With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
A renowned industry insider has suggested the rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase featuring Silent Hill 2 could happen this week.
Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.
Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.
As far as I can remember, they typically give a week heads up for these sorts of things.
