Instead, they give the appearance of willfully not providing this information where a customer will see it before purchasing their points specifically so you'll stock up on the points now instead of waiting until it is ready. Your money can't work for them if it is still in your wallet, you know?
You make it sound like they intentionally omitted information for the sole purpose of screwing you out of your money. Any money they made in points purchased for the Jan. 5 release they still would have made had they come out two weeks ago and said there'd be a delay. They've made a great game, we're all hooked, and every single person posting on this thread would have purchased those points at one point or another. They're not scamming anyone here. If anything, there's a chance (though a remote one) that they may lose money on further releases as a result of the handling of this DLC.
There are these things called "financial reports". And money needs to be collected by a certain time to make it on a particular report. When you have a DLC that was supposed to be released "during the holidays" and still isn't ready a week into the new year, I'm pretty sure that there is someone who gets antsy that the higher-ups at EA aren't seeing the revenue being generated yet. You know, EA, the same company accused many times of mandatory, unpaid overtime for its employees over at the main company.
You're right...it would be silly to think that, while they can update this thread and change one page from 1/5/2010 back to "over the holidays" while leaving the main page about the DLC with no indication that it hasn't been released let alone deyaled, they just might be trying to leave the customer ignorant so they can grab their money now.
And no, sorry, there is a great chance that people willing to pay $5 now won't be looking to pay the $5 later, because a bumper crop of new releases has hit the market to distract them from a short bit of DLC. But don't let me ruin the way you see the world by introducing some manner of business savvy or a view of how the world outside of your bubble works.

Wow.......sorry if I stepped on your sensitive ego. I'm just saying, whether we were told today or two weeks ago, they'd get our money either way. No point in painting them as a pack of plotting sophists.
