The weakass argument that Portalarium had for SotA not being officially Launched on July 28, 2016 was found in this post here:

"Please understand that final wipe is not “launch”. We will continue to be working to finish the game's story content well past final wipe, while we remain in Early Access. Until then, the game is neither "launched" nor complete, but as mentioned below, the concept of “launch” may not even be applicable to this development model. Launch will be when we pull the game out of Early Access and we start marketing / public relation campaigns to pull in new customers. We have no plans to do those things in July. We know that this plan will generate a lot of questions and stir up plenty of emotions, but we firmly believe this is the best possible course of action for the project." - Darkshart
A recent thread has Portalarium admitting to advertising SotA via paid ads:

"Hi all,
We are currently partnering with Origin PC to promote a giveaway, and in combination with that, we are also promoting the game in a very limited capacity through a test advertising service.
The ads you see have nothing to do with any Launch, we are still very much in Early Access . Should the ads have mentioned early access or some form of context to them? Sure, and I'll make note of that to the team on potential adjustments for clarity." - Queen Berek
"Hi all,
As we've mentioned, this is a limited test run to start forming relationships with advertisers, marketers, and the whole shebang. These things need to be done well in advance of any Launch, to ensure we're ready with the right partners.
Since we've answer the question I think, going to close this thread, and we're starting to go all over the place on discussion again .
Thanks for the inquiry OP!" - Queen Berek
Now these fucks are still hiding behind the bullshit "Early Access" lie. Any takers on the Garriott Cult actually hold these fucks accountable for lying and scamming? lol
