"Estimated" release timer, meaning, "we'll pick some random-ass time and post a countdown clock to drum up viewers." Nothing but clickbait.
And speaking of clickbait, i think i'll be taking a pass on ARK 2 until it's out for like a year or two and on sale. They got me with the season pass this time around, but I'm supposed to be excited about a sequel when the first game still has a billion bugs, glitches, and functions that *never worked right from the day they were introduced* and *still don't work right three years later*, and have any confidence that ARK 2 won't just be more of the same? No thank you. Meanwhile small indie dev teams of like, eight people, or 3 people, or ONE DUDE, are creating innovative games with attention to detail, polish, and oh yeah, BUG FIXING. I wanna hear about WIldCode's commitment to quality and decision to stand behind their product that will make the ARK 2 experience different than the original release that was so infamous for its broken bits, it became a standard running joke to include ARK in Steam reviews of other games as the top of the "bugs" scale. Hey you're making a sequel and you have a cute cartoon out, that's great, maybe finish what you started first if you want repeat customers.
