I would agree too. In june 2016 the term "fake news" was not even on my radar.

The problem occurs if they say something before being 100% sure about what they're going to do, and they turn out to be wrong...like the estimate they'd have an alpha in the fall.
 
That doesn't mean they shouldn't say something, even if it's only "This is taking a lot longer than we expected." 

 
I would appreciate what Mr. Anderton suggests.

I guess admitting on their own forum to some problem existing is not very good considering how competitive the market is. Let them speculate is one thing, but telling your competitors is quite another thing.

+1, that's all anyone expects i think, no need to go into sensitive detail

At this point the silence is doing much worse to many loyal customers. Will it take another year? Are they abandoning the idea entirely? How do we know? It's not like they're a week or even a few weeks late, they said "fall 2016". It's now nearly spring 2017. I'm sure some people are more forgiving. But Cakewalk can solve this uncertainty very, very easily.

Chumming. 
 

Three (small-ish) studios around me built a hackintosh instead of buying a trashbin design.
A really high end studio did buy a Mac Pro but it sits in a closet somewhere with one of those ridiculous Thunderbolt/PCI boxes for his ProTools hardware.

Yes, but they're not public yet.

It is high time they tell us something.
Lack of communication is what is wrong with most companies.

We should have more news in the next week or two.
