Is that so? I was told by the unbias likes of Pranay_, Psycho_mantis, and a few others that such a thought is laughable.

There is a marketing deal for every game, doesn't mean those deals including a delay for already announced platforms.
This reeks of SE incompetence.

Can someone explain what's going on? Is this not coming out on the 10th now?

If they're going to screw up the date this badly I won't have time to play it with University. Guess I won't be buying it until I have free time, which means at not full price.
We have absolutely no idea but I wouldn't get my hopes up

It is........nt
It not having a steampage until last minute isn't that weird, that's standard SE protocol.
So if we assume that the Steam release date is 3 days after the PS4 version, aren't they literally sending the game to die? They're silencing any and all information about the PC release this close to launch and I don't think they'd be careless enough to actually approve(I assume any marketing trailer has to be approved) and screen a trailer that blatantly shows 2 release dates
Basically Square screwed up and messed up on the release date of the game for PC. We have no clue what is going on right now and neither does Square apparently.
Activision didn't mention the Xbox One version of Diablo 3 until seven months after it was announced for the PS4. The situation with Nier isn't all that different.
Apparently Sony and square are in serious discussions as to how long they can hide the already announced pc version and if they can delay the pc version 3 or 6 months or even indefinitely. Money hat was on its way to square but it got held up and everything is in flux!!!! Omg square doesn't know what to do? There is a tug of war going on
Really? Why? That's very dumb.
It's a Sony marketing deal. They can't discuss the PC version until the PS4 release, but Square wants to piggyback the marketing investment for the PC version.
It's not. It happened with FFX/X-2 HD, but only because the port was complete months before Sony's 12-month exclusivity period expired.

But the PC version of this is already announced? Don't know what the deal was with Diablo 3.

And if it wasn't for the Steam DB leak, nobody would have known about it until a week before it came out on steam.
Or it was supposed to release at same time, but recently delayed due to whatever reason.
This doesn't explain silence before now tho.
So... they removed the trailer with Steam release date from their press site: http://press.na.square-enix.com/releases/917/battle-trailer-introduces-nier-automatas-main-weapon-types
RIP.
Just checked and no they didnt
EDIT: Forget that, its prob just the other trailer...

Yeah, the Glory to Mankind 119450310 Trailer is available to all, the newer one was behind the password, which is still there. I'm downloading it again to see if it was changed.
Update: Yep, it was changed. The Steam version was removed and the title of the file, as mentioned, is 9_Nier_Battletrailer_ENG_ESRB_Sony_r01.mp4, no.

You misspelled your edit reason lmao
11945 AD
Wait a fucking sec... (trailer spoiler)
that trailer date comes out to 11945 (Nier Automata's year iirc?)/03/10. If Japanese use YYYY/MM/DD, then that trailer's already teasing a March 10 release date holy shit

Sorry, but did you just miss everything we've just talked about? That trailer was pulled, the 10th, looks like a mistake, sadly.
If that's the case, that's definitely not a "Slight" delay.
Steam is gone now
yep, thats exactly right
such a weird fucked up situation

I'm not sure but you can try Sony's customer support.
Announced but literally never referenced by Squeenix until today, with said reference subsequently being scrubbed.
Right, because of Sony's 12-month exclusivity period on the game.
