I don't think that's a good enough reason. They could make it a 'use at your own risk' type situation and/or let people band together in a group and talk out and try to work through any issues they have without their involvement.

You need to let people start getting ready for this any way you can, especially as this is a potentially niche product that's not going to have any major developers working on it.

Best I can do right now is work on game logic elsewhere and try to be ready to do a port when they finally go public with it, hopefully before its official release.
