It did indeed say that. Which, if anything, serves to underscore how every time, it's not a good idea to talk about specific timeframes. Everywhere else, I've been very diligent about sticking with "soon(tm)", but had forgotten the bit in the FAQ was there until someone had brought it to my attention not too long ago. Very much my mistake.
(Regarding the "hiring a small team" bit, that... well, it wouldn't work for a large number of reasons. I feel like this has come up before, but here's a quick list: 1) not nearly enough money, 2) can't just find good people with a similar vision quickly, which ties into #1 and makes things take longer, 3) it's a creative endeavor and throwing more bodies at the problem is more likely to hurt than help in terms of overall quality, even if - and that's a big if - that helps it reach a "finished" state more quickly.)
I really appreciate all the support here, by the way. Thank you!
