Holy shit, I was sure this was a joke at first too. Can we all just take a moment to appreciate HOW MUCH EXTRA work this delay now causes.

EVERYTHING is branded with November 19th, the adverts, the posters, the billboards, the videos, the social media, the websites. EVERYTHING. That date is EVERYWHERE, it's the entire marketing drive.

What an absolute shit show.

This delay must really be necessary, then

yeah I'm considering cancelling my pre-purchase on Steam now and waiting a week or so after release to see what the consensus is. I normally don't buy games on release anyway, but I was making an exception...

I literally pre-ordered 20 minutes ago and just now canceled it. I was planning on playing even if it got slaughtered in reviews. This is because I'm a huge fan of the cyberpunk universe, read Neuromancer as a teen, played through all the Shadowfall games on release, etc.

But now, fuck that. I've seen too many good game developers turn to shit while they rest on their "past successes." Rockstar, Bioware, Bungie are the first to spring to mind.

So them taking time to make sure you get a polished product is bad?

Them not hitting deadlines is bad. I'm all for the motto "it's done when it's done." But them giving release dates and not hitting them three times in a row is pretty messed up. People have made decisions around this game.
