Beta Testers Want Game Delayed? - Discussion

There's a big leak on the forums; someone has leaked a thread or two from the official beta forums about whether or not the game needs to be delayed again. For Aventurine to do so, nobody really knows, but people like to assume they will.

It can be located here: http://s1.zetaboards.com/betaleaks/topic/1205757/1/

I posted a reply and would like to hear everyone's views as well, either if you want to post on the forums or right here. But let's keep it civil.

My Reply:
Ok, I know a lot of people are saying they can afford to delay the game more because they supposedly have all this money, but let's think about the other possibility. What if they DON'T have the money? or even if they did, do you really think investors are going to let them delay the game again? Whether they have enough money or not, 1) investors want their money back 2) they're gonna look like BSing idiots to their fans and the press to the delay the game for the 2nd-3rd time now (depending on whether or not you counted 2008 as an official announcement). Why else would they be doing preorders when in the past they said they would never do that? Let's say it's because they're running out of money and need it desperately.

I remember back when people were asking why they barely had any advertising, if you would even call it advertising, and a lot of fans kept talking about how they "didn't have enough money to advertise" and to STFU about it. But now suddenly they have tons of money and blah blah to delay it? Come on now.

In any case, they're in a lot of shit if they don't get their act together. I don't wanna sound like doom and gloom, but I'm just trying to think logically about the situation.
