I have known several people who work there and a few who still do. They won't release a game just to satisfy the screaming masses. They will wait until they know they have the best product going on the door. I believe their awards speak for themself on this issue.

Na, not knocking Blizzard in any way -- and I should have elaborated that statement. The push back was not a "release date" but rather "coming 20**" -- if memory serves, 2010 (this was around the time that trailer was released, maybe 2008? 2009? idr when they released the videos). I won't be surprised if it was released in 2012. The false news: websites, review sites, and their own forums stating "expected to launch <insert info here>"
(as far as I know, no, nothing ever firm & official on an actual date -- never said it was)
Just tried to check the way-back machine with no luck,

With WoW, thats exactly what they did unfortunately -- imho. Ruined the experience for me, personally, when I bought it in the first place for the name "Warcraft." But meh, to each his own on that game. People can attack & defend that game all day long, lol.
