Hi Bryan, Well, the mistake Jacob is making and has made is by setting a date or time period to begin looking for the game. If by chance he misses that do to a real life situation, issue, etc people aren't going to be inclined to believe him regardless of how real the delay is. He should have told everyone the game is done when it is done, and quietly began shipping keys and downloads before announcing its final release. That way it was in some peoples hands before the news broke.
And yes, unfortunately, people are that vain that they will keep their e-mail client open all day, check it every five seconds, in the hope it will appear on the next send/recieve. When they don't get it in the time they think they should get it they begin making noise and complaining loudly they have been scammed. Sheesh, I have personally been accused of the old scam theory myself. After 19 betas of Mysteries of the Ancients many still think it is a scam. I'm never going to release anything, never finish it, and nobody will get their money's worth and so on. Their welcome to their opinions, but when I release it they'll just have to eat their words.
