When can we expect some news about updates ? I'm not asking for sure-to-be date, rather Dev's opinion.

Ooo you're a sneaky one.

Would you then accept donations that would facilitate that, so that you can all get together to celebrate the game's release?
Is that not different from accepting donations for your work on the IP?

-400 W would be enough

^not even for the gpus alone. People should stop talking out of experience. A GTX580 has 240W of power consumption while in normal game load and can exceed 300W in Furmark.

You'll always want to have a good PSU with enough spare wattage. It's more important than you think.

Eh...when we can be more sure about it. We've been humbled by previous mistakes of assuming we'd be ready at a certain time, and when we have a strange leadership model, it's more difficult to estimate work completion than you might assume.
I'll just say that, like everyone here, I'm HOPING we will find ourselves ready for official announcement sometime soon (but keep in mind "soon" is a very vague term, so don't go relaying that to gaming magazines just because I'm a dev).

LeakFree Time!

To tell the truth, you (again team) must not hurry with release. Think about having mistakes, but if you have very small mistakes, I don't understand, why you delay the release, because you can make patches, which can fix problems. It's my modest opinion.

I think the rational is that they've spent this long on it, and to release it with any moderate level of bug-iness would tarnish all that hard work.
This is assuming they are busy with bug fixing at the moment and not something else.

EDIT:
I like your sig.
I interpret it as...
A fool lays his failure at the feet of his enemies.
A wise man looks to himself for where he was not.
An idiot blames loyal aid.

If you would know Russian, I explained to you meaning of this phrase.
On the subject:
I know that BM have many bugs, And Devs are fixing them now. I keep in mind that if bugs are minor, Devs can make release of BM, and after make some patches which can fix them. But if there are a lot of bugs, and they are BIG, Devs can delay with release. If only bugs are big.

Thanks for the Memo, Let Me just go ahead and Post this to the wall so all the DEVs can see and become aware of the New 2012 Development Plan.

VE SS Commodore, it's got a six-litre V8 that puts out close to 400 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, which takes it from 0-60 mph in a little over five seconds.

We'll both take road trips and meet up halfway.

A few of the most recent bugs we've fixed included massive framerate drops and crashes on level transition. We're not releasing a broken game.

It's our new Five Year Plan.

After seeing your car Ram I take back what I said about donations.
Say, do you have any cash to spare?

EDIT:
And damn that car is clean!

You must be sooo paranoid about getting keyed.

Fantastic. An Opel with a V8.
