[edit] TBA / When it's done

I scanned through the archive and did not find any discussion regarding the "When it's done" release date not being appropriate for the infobox or article. Was there ever any such discussion? TH1RT3EN talk ♦ contribs 13:51, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't know, but "WID" is the official term used. To me, that is the only "official release date" and should be kept in the infobox. --blm07 18:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
When it's done is NOT an official release date, and as such, is not appropriate for the infobox. An official release date is something like 21 November 2008, an actual DATE. I do not think it relevant to put that in the infobox. It should remain TBA until a date has been set.--EclipseSSD (talk) 19:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
From [1]: The release date of this game is "When it's done". if that isn't official, I don't know what is ;) --blm07 21:51, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
I agree. WID is the official statement given by 3drealms. It may be equivalent to TBA/TBD, but the creators have repeatedly used "When it's done". I don't see why, just because TBA is commonly used, it means that WID shouldn't be used. TH1RT3EN talk ♦ contribs 03:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Wow, talk about reverting without discussion, gotta love it! --blm07 16:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Supporting TBA/WID. DNF is unique in this respect. It's the only thing I can think of that's in the vapourware/non-vapourware limbo. Sure, it's not a solid YYYY/MM/DD date, but there's no semantic issues with putting "When it's done" inside a 'release date' field. I was the reviewer that first promoted this article to GA status, if that's any concern. Carson 20:13, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I have to say that DNF is the definition of vaporware. 192.147.57.6 (talk) 21:10, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Ever wondered if the developers are just screwing with us? like they called it Duke Nukem Forever because thats how long it will take? Still, keep the faith Lovefist233 (talk) 08:40, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

12 years for some crappy generic looking shooter footage. Those guys should be real proud! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.219.28.164 (talk) 21:55, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
