What I want to know is, why did we ever see ridiculous release dates, like August?
I personally would like it if you would not put out any release dates until you have 
a better idea of when a game is going to be out.  Apogee is horrible about this.  
For example, the first slide show for Xenophage was over a year ago and the game 
still isn't out.  Take a tip from "Crack.Dot.Com", if you publish any release dates, 
make sure the game is out on time.

p.s. I will admit that you did a great job with meeting Terminal Velocity's release 
date.  Great game BTW.
