Very few people who are interested in this game will miss the new launch date. If they are really that interested, how could they miss it? You cannot possibly say that a decision that satisfies the majority is bad because it dissatisfies a very, very small minority. Don't argue something just for the sake of arguing, especially something as clear-cut as this. Moving a laungh date up is the equivalent of completely undercutting the competition. It goes against the trends that have been set for decades. You can try and explain how making a decision that thousands and thousands of people love, whereas four or five don't, is a bad decision from a business standpoint. But, it won't get you anywhere and all your arguing will never make you right. Think before you argue.

It's best to just let him rant, and not encourage his ridiculous excuses for things. He just causes problem when given something to say.

Duly noted. Got anymore connect-the-dot puzzles so I have something to do while I wait for the worst decision in the history of gaming on the 2nd? MMMM sarcasm, smells like bacon.
