Besides apparently it went gold last week according to a russian games site.

They are working on the sim fixing bugs etc until they decide enough is enough and it goes gold. If the game went gold last week, there still wasn't enough time to send it to the publishers and have them release the product for March 25th. The publishers need atleast three weeks or more to press and ship the disks.

so that would mean the download shouldnt be delayed then?

Its obvious at this point the publisher isn't interested in releasing the download before the hard copy.

Its obvious that publisher can't release the product until after the sim goes gold. There has been no gold annoucement other than the rumored gold release in russia last week. Like I said before the publisher needs a few weeks or more before they can publish and ship the product. Thats if they don't decide not to do more testing with their own people which sometimes happens.

You keep patting yourself on the back for predicting delays to the release. Delays are the most obvious prediction a person can make with gaming software.
