If memory serves, they usually get posted *after* Gen Con - sometime in September or so after Derek (I think it is Derek that does this - apologies if I'm wrong) and team have crunched the numbers.  I don't know that Derek produces any "Current Unmet Demand" analytics for the current year.

It’s possible that it’s done after Gen Con.  I can’t quite remember.  That doesn’t make sense though, since the time stamp for last year’s post says month of May.

I’m pretty sure it’s done before Gen Con also since the information gathered is off of “Wishlist” demand.   It wouldn’t be as effective after Gen Con, since it would be more helpful to GMs know which games might be more likely to sell out this year if submitting events late this year.

Yep, you're right. I'm thinking of a different dataset.

When we have a chance to compile it, honestly.

Most likely, some time after Origins.
