What Now?

I agree with Majick.

They're done, and they don't want it to seem like it.

They won't have that creator's camp planned and had already mailed out the flyers and invitations, if they weren't done.  They wouldn't want people building stuff on buggy games now.  Then the promotional coupons can be used on the 22nd...they would not be doing all of this if it wasn't done. 

As they said in a recent article that they are doing more previews and trailers, because they have a product to show off.  In October or early November, Ben said they were over 90% finished.  These last months are for hyping their product and putting trailers out.  It's their last chance to build ultimate hype, so blood-thirsty people can run to stores on release date.

They are still probably doing a little bit of bug testing, but they enjoy the chaos that goes on in the BBS and other forums about the game not being done, and what's in, and what's gonna be taken out.

If they announce that they are done, there would be nothing but complainer threads about, "I wanted this in the game.", "This is it?  I am not satisifed.",  "Okay, they are done, so it would be out on time."  They enjoy speculation threads and stuff like that.
