Publishing a board game is a LOT more complicated than publishing a comic book. There are a whole bunch of things that have to come together to fill that box; art, rulebook, components, etc. Add to that the fact that games (hopefully) get a ton of playtesting and are often tweaked unpredictably if the game isn’t performing the way the designer intends. I would prefer to see designers have every chance possible to delay a game until it’s ready.
I think publishers would be shooting themselves in the foot by giving set in stone release dates, generally, though I realize it must make planning a show like yours difficult. For people in the hobby in general though, there are soooo many great games out there that it really isn’t worth it to get bent out of shape for some future release.
