Logic like this is how you get some of the more ridiculous predictive models for things pertaining to...I dunno, temperature. You can't take two solitary data points and extrapolate them into infinity. The time from Hearth & Home until Mistlands is a more accurate set of data points anyhow. That said, it'll take as long as it takes. Even if the game stopped here and never got any more content, it would be a $20 very well spent.
