What people choose to use their PTO is, frankly, none of your business. What difference is there between using PTO for a long weekend vacation that thousands of people do annually and using that same time for an hyped video game launch? People take PTOs for all sort of things: concerts, sporting events or sitting at home all day in a hot bath. It's entirely their prerogative. What you deem "important" doesn't matter.

Your right, it is none of my business, but people publicly announced they took the PTO for this, so just like they are entitled to complain about a Release delay, Im entitled to criticize people choices. Its completely your choice 100%
Not gonna stop me from saying something.

You sound like someone that's never had a job that provided paid time off. Most employers don't pull the crap you see on movies and TV shows where someone saves up 20 years of it then can take a year off work with pay. They let you carry over a small amount of it to the next year and the rest is use it or lose it. Having an abundance of it this late in the year either means there wasn't anything important enough to use it on during the year or you just weren't able to use it earlier in the year when you wanted to due to issues in the workplace. The last minute delay means basically either getting that time moved to line up with the delay, or having that time off where it is scheduled now but not having access to the activity you planned on doing during that time. And for many that have to take the latter that means having their enjoyment of the game either delayed beyond the new launch date due to work or having their enjoyment impacted by a potentially negative mental state caused by their work.

Untrue, I have a job and I have PTO that I can use at any moment of my choice. I just think it should be used for something better then playing a videogame.
Your free to do whatever you want with it, doesn't mean I cant express that I think it could/should be used better then a videogame.
