Diablo 3 further delayed? (SIAP)

Did a search, lick my taint if this was on here.
Game director (Jay Wilson) basically says major things are currently being redone and more to come:

I admire Blizzard's tenacity in ensuring a polished and great product, but NOW they are fricking changing the skill/rune system? This game won't be out until the summer at earliest if I had to bet.

We’re changing some of the systems we’ve gotten the most feedback on both internally and from the beta test, including crafting, items, core attributes, and inventory. We’ll go over those changes and the reasons for them. In addition we’re working on major changes to the skill and rune systems that we’re not ready to talk about, but I promise you we can’t possibly ship without a finished skill and rune system. :)

I mean, it can't really be delayed if it never had an official release date. It's done when it's done, and that's been Blizzard's philosophy for a long time now.

Cool, maybe they won't make 50% of all their runes completely unattainable like on d2.
And absurd runewords no one would make.

Just because they don't have a public release date doesn't mean they don't have an internal target release date. They can't keep the fricking game in beta forever.

As long as they don't go over the development time that Duke Nukem had, I think they can get away with it

Well they probably got a ton of people too buy a year subscription of WoW for Diablo III, which will probably buy them some time.

They might not have a firm release date but about 2 years ago they set April 2011 as tentative release. So even by their own schedule they are way behind.
And....it appears they are not happy with the game. These aren't minor tweaks they are making. They are removing an entire class from the game.
I can't figure out if they simply decided the class sucked OR they ran out of time to finish building it and decided it would take less time to remove it rather than make it work.
Just because they have put out good games in the past doesn't mean they aren't botching the hell out of this release.

I think they are already in closed beta testing.
They are making changes that were requested by the beta testers.

Good thing IMO. I would rather wait a few more months for a game thats great then to get it a couple months earlier and be completely fricked.
If beta testers complained about it, it probably needed fixing.

Suckers the lot of them, Blizz is good at that. WoW is a good game for the first two months after an x-pack after that it is the same thing over and over.

You're right ha. I haven't played since TBC, but Blizzard is milking whatever they can out of the game.
