Well, since we know that somewhere in the future there is a fixed point in time when the game will eventually release we are indeed getting closer even if it's not quite the fixed point in time we are expecting.
Somewhere there is a brick wall in time the game can't run any further from (say Dec 2014 unless something horrid happens) there is no way it will get past that brick wall in time into 2015. And today is just one more glorious day towards that brick wall in time called DOS!
