And yet, despite realizing this, you still went out at E3 this year and gave it a release date you knew damn well it wasn't going to hit. So despite understanding the fact that jumping the gun gets you nowhere, and ultimately just makes you look bad, you still kept doing it. Bravo

How do you know that? They could have very well planned it to release this year but about 3 weeks ago realized they needed more time. 

If that's really how it went down, that's even worse.
