Delayed?

First Dragon Age gets delayed, now Battlefield: Hardline? In the case of Battlefield, maybe announcing your release date before starting the beta was a mistake. I don't even know why you'd do that, the beta is there to find bugs and problems with the game, so you know there is gonna be shit to fix afterwards, but you still have the stupidity up in your head to say you will be releasing it as a finished product on this specific date? With how many games these days that are delayed or come out half finished, you'd think game developers would be more interested in having more time to complete their games before they're officially announced or slated for release. I know it isn't the game developers who choose the release dates most of the time, but they could give an impression that the development process is going to take longer when publishers are deciding when they want the game out.
