What does that have to do with this conversation?
OP opined that the wait might be longer, which isn’t false.
Furthermore, “We hope to ship in 2026, but…” specifically references 2026, and not the first half, which as I pointed out had only been referenced as their goal.
The first half of this year is still 2026, sure, but 2026 isn’t just the first half of this year. 2026 by itself is a whole year.
Do you see what this has to do with the conversation?
No they didn't. They said Valve suggested it would be longer, which did not happen.
...and? You're reaching here. That is in no way any sort of suggestion.
No. No one said anything about a "promise", at any time. Not me, not the author, and not Valve. Only you.
Either OP edited their post or you should go back and read it again. They just said the wait might be longer. They didn’t say valve said anything.
There’s no reaching. A car is a vehicle, but not all vehicles are cars. When someone says 2026, it is a year. There is zero implication of one half or the other. I think the omission of indicating the first half could be a slip up, but is worth noting. It could be interpreted as a suggestion.
I bring up promise because people tend to freak out when things get delayed, as if it were a promise. I mean to imply that we should expect a delay, and be pleasantly surprised if it launches any earlier.
Does this make sense?
