Well, when you say something like, "I wouldn't like DayZ to be out by the end of the year, it has to be" and then he goes on that point also saying it has to be out by the end of the year. You should PROBABLY keep that "date" whether is was for alpha, beta, or whatever the hell, just release a working and good ALPHA build. They have had a big chunk of time, and dont get me wrong it is hard to do, but if you make promises you should keep them. That is my opinion.
