pushing game to go gold when clearly the game should have more extensive testing done pretty much verifies that they pushed release. Not to mention the fact that they released a demo of a partially finished game which only fueled the media and forum response of "cant wait till its released" and "I will be upset if they delay the game".
Upon the initial official announcement of the game it was slated for Nov. 11. They in no way pushed the game up. What they did (or rather didn't) do, is delay the game when they saw it had bugs. But I'm not going to argue that one way or another, as I'm not having any major problems with my copy.
