If we handed in a GM today, they'd think "What are you trying to pull? What's missing from this build?" and spend a lot of time doing their own QA before handing it off for localization, etc.

When you make a plan to ship a product by a certain date, there's a lot of money invested in that plan right off the bat (reserving CD duplication, magazine ads, etc.) and if you ship before your plan comes to fruition you end up wasting a lot of money, the same way you would if you shipped later than planned. My guess is they would stick to their plan, and I couldn't fault them for that. There's a lot of promotional work yet to be done if Oni is to succeed the way we want it to.
