I'd be kind of annoyed if Mars did give their Penguin priority and got it into the market quickly on back of the disappointment of the Eternal release.
As someone who has ordered the Eternal one, I admit it is mostly due to selfish reasons but it would come across somewhat obnoxious of them to do that especially considering how many other projects they have going and are further into production.
I don't know, I'd be more than happy to get to PO my Mayor Penguin and know that a good one is only months away.
