Given that it's Randy Pitchford, I don't buy it. The dude is all over the place. Once you've set a launch date, why bother moving it up by two weeks? Even if you're confident in your game, almost two extra weeks just gives your devs more time to polish it and make it even better = even more confidence. I have no doubt BL4 will be a solid game, as long as the character writing is acceptable.
