It kinda sounds like... a patch teaser. He was originally planning to address companies "at the end of March" (original date for 1.17) but he pushed it back. Why would he push it back? Why is it so important to keep the launch of 1.17 and the info on companies so close together? Moreover, they have a "page dedicated to in-game companies coming up" in the near future as well. He isn't hyping this stuff right now for no reason.

Give me a break. Companies are coming, and my hat is not leaving my head.
I would like to believe he did this, because as of the current patch there are new sidequests that gives you a little insight about the Grand Companies.
