I got home from work yesterday to find my smiling wife waiting for me. She gave me a hug, asked me how my day was, the usual pleasantries, and then I went downstairs to work on my Solstice armor a bit.

As I was walking downstairs she yells "oh by the way, I booked our plane tickets for the California wedding in September". Great, I replied, and then asked "what was the date again?"

"We are flying out the 17th and back the 22nd"

Wait. That's a familiar date. Why do I know that date? And then it hit me.

I will be out of town on the day Shadowkeep drops, missing the first week with all the fun and secrets, and be a week lower in Light Level than my friends. I asked her if we can have the couple move the wedding up a week, said the Moon was haunted and I was needed; she did not look pleased by this idea.

Send help.

Thank you cozmo very cool, now it's me who can't play on the first week now, I worked so hard to convince my supervisor to give me my 2 weeks holiday on the start of the 15th of September which is 2 dayes prior to the original release to get ready and I was so excited that I got the approval 3 days ago, unfortunately I can't change the dates now, very cool bungie, fml.

Edit: I reached to cozmo after he offered me help and he replied, I'll leave the updates if this worked out or not

Edit Aug 7: Cozmo actually wrote me a letter so I can forward it to my supervisor soon after I made this complain, I showed it to my boss when he was in a good mood ( this is rare even more than a spare ration god roll drop ) I talked about the time off change and he refused, but I activated my trap card ( Cozmo23 letter ) aaaaand apparently he used to play halo years before so he was shocked that a bungie dev actually contacted me to ask on my behalf to change time off so I can play their latest release, I got the time off but instead of 2 weeks straight he gave me 2 time offs 1 week for each and I'm allowed to take one time off in October since our department is short on employees and we have tons of projects on our desks, the cool part is when he was asking about the game soooooo I might see him soon on my fireteam, all thanks to Cozmo less commonly known as Chris Shannon <3

Sorry about that. Like Luke and Mark said in the statement, we know this messed up a lot of plans, but we feel it was the best thing for the game. Let me know if you want me to write a letter to your supervisor asking them if they can move your dates.
