Young parents shouldn't be prioritizing path of exile over providing their children with core memories. It is going to be ok to miss a couple hours.

That's not a promise, have a good day.

Sorry but you are wrong.

🎯 “Committing” ≠ “Considering”
When someone says “we are committing”, they aren’t brainstorming or speculating — they are declaring an intention they expect to follow through on.

- The word commit literally means “to pledge or bind to a certain course of action.”
- It’s stronger than “we plan”, “we’ll try”, or “we hope.”
- In plain English, if you “commit to” something, you are making a promise to do it, unless something truly prevents it.

So when GGG said “we are committing to a 4-month cycle,” they were telling the audience: “This is now our rule and rhythm — you can rely on it.”


📅 Public Declarations Set Expectations
When a company — especially developers with a long-running live service game — makes a statement in a video presentation, it’s not idle talk. It’s a public commitment to their community.
That’s because:
- They’re communicating expectations for players, content creators, and the wider player base.
- Players plan their league starts, events, and builds around those timelines.
- Saying “we are committing” signals that the devs want players to trust that schedule.

So even if there’s no legal contract, it’s a promise in good faith — a social and professional one.

⚖️ Breaking a Commitment ≠ “Lying,” But It Is Breaking a Promise
If the schedule slips past 4 months, it doesn’t mean they lied.
But it does mean they broke a commitment they themselves announced.
