    Guys, astronomical winter is not winter in general. Winter starts on a whole bunch of different dates depending on location, culture and even the weather.

    Don't really see why people are so invested in which side of the Autumn/Winter divide it lands anyway tbh.
    As far as I'm concerned it was going to come out in Autumn, and now it's going to come out in Winter. It's the delay that sucks, not the Winter release.

The calendar we all use was invented by a Roman dictator over 2000 years ago and was slightly adjusted to take into account the true length of the year, about 450 years ago. Basing the seasons around that isn't very scientific.
    Not everything has to be you know, it's totally fine to base the timing of the seasons around how people feel.
