I definitely understand your point to this original question and the in-game pop up info is indeed late and is annoying because it’s late in-game to arrive to us.
The answer you seek is Yes.
If you review his complete response, you replied to, he did say that he “discussed with mods and it’s better to share events that will be live for sure than to publish calendar”, etc.
This means you probably missed or forgot that we have an active open discussion dated from 10 days ago from the last response, where he did this for us already in dates with a specific announcement titled “Where is the Update?’ It’s still open active and you can comment in it now, it’s not closed nor archived.
Just click on News & Announcements and scroll down.
This link is provided at the bottom.
As you see what he stated above, he says he will share live events this time for us instead of a calendar just as he has already done before, which he did before the update was released.
