Reason: Added Press Release
Too bad it will most likely come with a 7GB DRM shit that lets you install the game twice, and counts 1 install each time you change your hardware... for example your mouse.
Just to make a quick point. This is hopefully going to be the future of gaming.
Beginning of year - Announce Game
Fall of same year - Go gold, and release early.
The whole advermarketing cycle has been cut down and saved the publisher money and time, and has put a shimmer of hope in the gamers heart because there were no delays (the game even came out early).
