Yeah, but isn't that what a lot of people's speculation has been for the past 1-1/2 years? That they'll get through working on a current project and then finish POTC? But then of course something else comes along to take priority, and so the speculation changes to OK they'll get it done after that project. And then the next project comes along to take priority and speculation conveniently changes to OK now they'll get it done after this project... and the cycle just keeps repeating? And still some people keep thinking THIS time it'll get done after their next priority project?

Meanwhile the facts of the situation seem to speak for the last 1-1/2 years pretty clearly:
- no new POTC games for them to sell
- only 2 updates since the games started shipping (the Sept '18 updates were prior to games shipping) when all other JJP games got a lot more attention for minor updates
- no positive statements from JJP indicating it's any kind of a priority to them for well over a year. Their only comment has been it'll get released when the wizard mode is done, and to me that's not a positive statement. That's indicating longer delay.

I haven't seen any reason to be confident a POTC update can get to the top of their priority list soon enough for them to get it done before something else comes along to bump it back down the list again. Any attempt to try to guess when it will be done or what order they'll finish projects is purely wishful thinking at this point, because the facts seem pretty clear that this update gets pushed down their priority list pretty easily.

Prior to shipping POTC, JJP had announced that POTC would be feature complete when it shipped. So Pat Lawler's announcement last year shouldn't be treated as though it's some new thing that didn't apply to POTC.
