Gamespot release date of Q3 2008...

OK, in the few weeks since I posted that Gamespot had a release date of Q3 2008 for SoW:BoB they have updated the information. Now it's set to Q1 2009 over there.

OK - why has someone at Gamespot (a mainstream game site) updated their release info from Q3 2008 to Q1 2009? It would be justified if their "guess" date had been passed and some system alarm tells someone to make another guess as they don't want dates that have been passed. Do they read all the posts in forums like this and get the "general feeling" of 2009 that a lot of us others get? Don't think so... Why would they bother changing it as they don't seem to bother too much about the game judging from the content they have? They do meet all the marketing guys at events like Ubidays 2008, even though the game was not displayed there, someone may have discussed other games with some guy that knows the current state of the project. That is if Ubisoft is still the publisher - there are no fresh indications of that as no information at all is available at the ubi.com page. I get a strong feeling of lawyers at war regarding the publishing rights for SoW:BoB.

Just wasting time thinking out loud as we are grabbing scraps of information everywhere as there is no official information right now.

IIRC this date has been updated 6 or 7 times now for BoB, since it was officially announced years ago.

They don't have a clue, honestly, and just set a later date. Nothing more, nothing less. Maybe they even got here, reading the user-comment, that even if aimed at Christmas 08 it will probably miss that date and will be released in Q1 09, just as FB and IL2.

Could also be somebody throwing a dice or reading from the blood of a slaughtered sheep - who knows.

@ Feuerfalke : I prefer read in bones of dead mammouth. I usually get good results. Unfortunately no mammouth is available so I can't give you the answer about the release date of SoW.

Just give me a mammouth to read !!!!
