Yeah, I think every game community goes through this same cycle. I remember a lot of the same arguments last year when HalfLife 2 was delayed. Everybody was arguing about release dates, while Valve stayed quiet- probably because they got hacked, and were trying to figure out what to tell everyone. It's a vicious cycle, and the speculation only fuels the fire.
In this case, it's manufactured as part of a marketing campaign. It's brilliant, really. In any case, the 24th should prove interesting- but a lot of people are setting themselves up for dissapointment.
