Other software companies, like ID software, 3D Realms and Epic were probably shaking in their boots when they saw the E3 trailer. This has to be a great feeling for you guys?
Right now we just worry about shipping and living up to the communities expectations.

Ok, i'm looking at the answer from Gabe here, obviously with all crunch times they are going to be worried about shipping, but perhaps they mentioned that because although they are on target for a sept 30th release, something may have changed in the game development cycle that brought the "gold date" a little too close to the release.
Or more specificly, something MAY happen that MIGHT change the gold date.
Now think Chinese whispers, and to vivendi this sounds like a delay, so they go and accidently release a statement that its delayed by a few weeks, rather than waiting on confirmation, which may be why they then state it was a "miscommunication" when they retracted it.
Thoughts?
