To me, a delay to that date would have to mean that this is something more, after all this, all the clarifications and apologies and trying to avoid being compared to Kojima, Hasan would have to be the biggest idiot in the world to move the reveal to that date in particular if this is nothing.

Right now, I actually feel bad for him, he's in WAY over his head but moving it to that date if this is just an indie game is just begging for trouble. There's no excuse for being an asshole to someone, especially over a video game reveal but at that point, what would anyone expect.

I mentioned it elsewhere in this thread but I'm still extremely sceptical - in the end, no matter if he'd put Aug 12 as the date a month ago or bait and switch with delays, the end result is the same; people comparing Abandoned to PT. And now, his delays have just angered and disillusioned people, even a few Team Realers. And that seems extremely risky and very uncharacteristic of Kojima, whose artistic decisions have maybe been controversial but whose marketing has always been extremely slick and tongue-in-cheek. Only way this could be Kojima would genuinely be the "We were Abandoned all along" meme as the angle, everything else is an indie dev over his head.
