When GOG states an upcoming title's release date is "SOON", is there a range associated with that? For example, 1 month to 1/2 year or 1 month to 1 year?

I am not critizing GOG on this, merely asking a question if GOG had a policy for when it would post a game's title in relation to a release date.

(I also noticed other websites that sell or review games often uses other phrases such as TBA, In Dev, or just the generic year, with no morth or date.)

The term "soon" is one of the mostly highly technical terms used on the Internet:

On GOG:
- the "Soon" tag on a game simply means "planned to come here eventually", with no time frame provided (apart from the slated release month/year mentioned beneath the title of some items under the front page's "Upcoming" tab);
- "TBA" will appear in lieu of a price for any upcoming (i.e., "Soon") game that's not available for pre-order;
- "In Dev" is its own thing, though it and "Soon" are not mutually exclusive (The Universim is currently labeled as both, though I'm kind of unsure of exactly what that means...).
