You might find yourself having nothing to do for a while, but, well, sorry - at least we didn't lie to you."
And when your engine breaks down because the mechanic said he gave you an oil change instead of actually doing it, my guess is you'll be just a little more pissed than if they'd been honest w/ you.

The problem is, SOE didn't have the finished content until months down the road either, just like Blizzard. Unlike Blizzard, however, they didn't have the audacity to lie about it. That's just adding insult to injury.

And if not delivering on promises and lying about it is equivalent to telling the truth, then I have to say your world is just a little bit fucked up.
