And I am not alone. We're legion. And we will all call in sick in case of a push back, which ultimately would lead to a world wide breakdown of the economy and loss of vital communal and governmental services. Those not playing couldn't get to work either, because mass transits don't work. They'd get sick eventually anyways, since the trash keeps piling up in the streets. Hospitals couldn't keep up with the sick masses, breaking down on their doorsteps wave after wave.
A global firestorm would blaze through our cities, since the few firemen left couldn't get through the piles of trash, sick and dead people. The day sky would turn black and the nights be glooming red, filled with the stench of burnt flesh and the wailing of the damned, the unlucky that still live.
In short, pushing the game's release back would mean the end of the world. You wouldn't want that, would you?
PS - Servers would be offline, too
