Oh no, of course the individual(s) that promised those things aren't divorced from reality. It's the consumer that paid money and expected the product they were that's divorced from reality...

Funny how quick you are to point the blame at someone who just went ahead and thought they'd get what they paid for, on time.

What a skewed perception.

"We don't really know what we're doing, we're going to fuck this up, give us your money!"
