Exactly, what is a couple weeks delay compared to all the years of play to come?

I just saw this today..

Release date notes the 18th of April...

The game simply wasn't ready for release. They've been optimizing the sim until the last minute to get every last frame they can squeeze out of it. When you change things you can create bugs. Delays in the gold release causes delays all the way down the line for downloads, advertising, pressing, shipping etc. Its impossible to give a solid release date in this situation. If everything went well they may have made a March release, but it didn't.

Chivas, excuse my ignorance and the bone question, you seem very well connected to the team, are you part of it?:confused:

The argument there was Europeans have to wait a month for U.S. movies, so it's even as far as U.S. possibly having to wait a few more weeks to play the game. There's a large difference in entertainment factor there. Not to mention I don't know of any movies (personally) that have a rabid fan base of people and forums, waiting 5 or 6+ years for it to be released. Regardless, I don't see why anyone has to wait longer than the other. <insert release date here>, 12:00am Russian time, release the thing internationally. Done deal, everyone's happy, nobody has to wait longer.

I'm not dissing the game, not dissing UBI (at the moment), and definitely not dissing Oleg or the 1C crew. Merely just expressing my displeasure at having to wait another month to play this game that I've been waiting so long for, that's had a target release date up until approximately a week from release. :)

I thought the 25th was given as a solid date, or do you mean that they made changes after they gave out the 25th date to the games industry? Doesnt really make sence to do it that way round, by that I mean if you keep tweaking and tweaking all the way till the date your game is ment to go gold couldnt that just go on indefinately? Besides apparently it went gold last week according to a russian games site.
