You don't know that. In his defense, it's entirely possible that he meant that the idea was being developed, not that actual code was being written yet. Or it's also entirely possible that code was being written, but for whatever reason, it was scrapped and put on the back burner, which happens sometimes. The Cathedral of Pain comes to mind. That was not only "in development," but actually released for a while before it was yanked for years and then re-released. Or the City Vault, which people are still clamoring for, but that has been put on indefinite hold status.|

Incidentally, this is exactly why the devs and marketing are so tight-lipped now about what they're working on, why we just plain don't know until either it's in late beta or sometimes actually released. As soon as someone says something like, "It's in development," a contingent of players assumes that to mean, "I swear by all that I hold holy that we are focused 100% on this becoming reality, and so help me on my very life, you will see it within the next three months." Sometimes shtuff happens, and then no matter how cool something is, nothing is good enough and the game sucks. I've seen comments posted here saying basically that about Going Rogue because the Incarnate System was delayed. This moral of this thread to me isn't so much "Statesman sucks!" as it is, "When you have people that demanding (and obnoxious), the best course of action is to just keep your damn mouth shut about everything until it's literally on the live servers."
I didn't see the dates at first either, and I was wondering if the OP was on drugs or something. When I saw Statesman's post, my first thought was, "What the--!!? Why is he posting here? Doesn't he know he's going to be crucified? And how is he posting here? I thought his account was banned! Oh... Wait..."
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
I'm pretty sure Jack's account is unbanned by now. I don't honestly think our Dev team holds that big of a grudge against him.
(It is kind of hard to hold a grudge when you are on the floor laughing)
Epic Necro-posting
Oh and...

I had forgotten just how long ago they had been discussing it.
That means that my stalker-- who I made specifically because I'd read that side-switching would arrive one day-- is about 4 years and 10 months old. I've been player her as "under cover" for years...
I tell you, having her arrive in Paragon City was an epic moment for me and was worth the purchase of GR, even ignoring all the Praetoria stuff.

Woah, dug way deep for this one! This necro is pretty much just a walking skeleton....
