Thanks go to sjay1994 for the very appropriate GIF
UPDATE 4 Pre-E3 2015: This is it people E3 time.... again! I think this E3 our support group deserves some answers from Sony. The way I see it they have three options; A) Show us something new regarding its development, B) Tell us a firm date of 'when' they plan to show us something regarding its development, or C) Announce the game is cancelled. Here's hoping this E3 we get the answers we are hoping for. Happy E3 to all of the 'Crazy Person' support group!
UPDATE 3: E3 Time is here. You can count the hours. This webM feels appropriate... let us rally!

and so I present to thee...
An open letter for the now formally recognised 'The Last Guardian Support Group' (TLGSG)
Dear Members and Visitors
I would like to remind everyone that this time of year can be a very trying time for our support group. E3 can bring out some painful and raw emotions. Now more than ever is the time to reach out to our beloved community.
We are made up of caring and loving families, who have children, teens, and adult loved ones who are involved in some way with TLGSG. All of us are beautiful and intelligent. We have hope. Some of us even have a lot of hope. We have members who have been bullied and we have members who have managed to not be bullied, thankfully. We have all been raised to be confident and to love ourselves, but sometimes/many times we may be hurt to the point where those hurtful feelings leave scars that we just don’t forget about or are unable to overcome. Our love for The Last Guardian may affect our ability to game-on, it does not affect our limbs or our intelligence or our love for life. We all still strive for the very best in life. Even though some things may seem as though they don’t come easy to us, remember that delays happen, even to those who are not members of the TLGSG.
Thankfully, waiting... commonly known as 'The Wait' is not a disease or a chronic ailment. Some of us may choose to wait in silence. Some of us may opt to vent our frustrations and be happy with the decision that we have made. Some of us may not be happy and continue to seek another solution. Some of our members may have been lucky enough to find other gaming pleasures and move on, if only for a short while. My point is, we are all in this together no matter what our experiences have been and what decisions we will make. Every one of us is different and each one of us will experience something different in life. As parents, we only want to supply our children with games that have an average Metacritic rating of 80 or higher and as individuals we only want what’s best for us depending on what we believe in personally. As teens and adults, it is still possible to survive and renew our love for gaming by playing the classics. Games such as ICO and Shadow Of The Colossus that were handed down by your Grandparents or that were found in bargain bins or attics. In the end, any decision you make is probably the best or right decision for you and/or your family.
Please keep in mind, that over the years advancements have been made in gaming technology, improvements have been made to rendering techniques, and annual franchises are options that have become available to us. Even though our support group may have little information and posts discussing the current stage of development, I want everyone to know who has not opted for a replacement gaming solution, that we are all here for you too. Our group is a support chain for anyone experiencing physical or mental symptoms emerging from 'The Wait'. I hope that each and every one of you feel comfortable here and know that you are welcome regardless of all of the decisions taking place. These discussions and decisions are being made from our hearts and what we honestly believe is for the best for our children and for ourselves. Many of us have chosen to keep our faith intact and I think that is wonderful.
Faith is a beautiful thing and although we may have a difference in opinion, we can all be supportive to one another, regardless of the decisions we make. Everyone in our support group is fantastic. Our wonderful group would not be the support group it is today without all of you being a part of it.
