Stacked with Daniel Negreanu is complete, but the game is not being released till February so that it can coincide with an MTV special or some BS...

Anybody with half a brain should understand why this is retarded:

1. Obviously, they'll be missing the holidays. Anybody with any business sense knows that it's not worth delaying a finished product beyond the busiest shopping season for the sake of a few worthless advertising and marketing shenanigans.

2. As a pop culture phenomenon, poker's a fad, and fads can easily fade in and out in a matter of weeks. Since a poker videogame would appeal to the casual moreso than it would to serious players, they may be risking that the fad runs out of steam by February and watching their entire target market erode.

Yep, missing pre-christmas and post-wsop. This is pretty much poker prime time.
