A delay is a delay. Unless he is spinning definitions to say "few days internal = nothing" which would be wrong.

I think it's pretty common for developers/publishers to pretend there weren't any delays because publicly they were still in the announced window.

If publicly, they said 2022, then there's no delay if it comes out December, even if internally it started out as being planned for March or something.

At least that's typically how they see it. 

I mean, how else should it be interpreted? No developer is going to say there wasn't a delay and literally mean there we no internal delay. Whatever is happening behind the scenes internally at the development studio, and what is publicly available info are 2 different things.

I think it's a bit silly to take a public comment as referring to anything but public knowledge. As long as GoW hits 2022, then his Cory lying? of course not. 

I would say that is a to open interpretation of "no delay". If he just wanted to mean the game will release in 2022, the precise way would say something like game is scheduled for 2022 or even still scheduled for 2022. There is no need to go further and claim no delay if there was an internal delay just because they didn't give a specific date.
