To the root of this issue:
No announcement was made. CDPR will make official announcements through it's own channels when it has something to announce. Every other piece of information is speculation.
The reality of the situation is what was said
to IGN, word for word, not what IGN said
around that:
The rest of the article is simply IGN spinning the meaning of that to give it the flavors and connotations
they want to give it. Nothing in that statement is an assurance of how long it will take, what it will entail, or whether it will ever be released. My guess is that we'll eventually see it, but there's no official word on that yet. There is no announcement or confirmation of anything.
And no, CDPR is not likely to police the internet looking for various sources conveying misinformation. People are free to say what they wish. The only thing to keep in mind, if readers wish to avoid confusion, is the following:
When there is something to officially announce, it will come directly from CDPR -- not through secondary sources.
