People whinging about the date being far off are usually the first to whinge about the game having bugs and/or other performance related issues, then proceed to lambast the developers with stupid things like "You should have taken more time to make the game, OMG!" and "Wow, stupid developers can't make a game work, I'm going back to COD!".

Seriously, never complain about a release date being further than what your patience requires to satisfy.
