I think that's the right move, Erik. Although, I really don't think you are competing as much with E:TW as you think you are. Most of us who want both will buy both, others will be put off by E:TW's RTS gameplay and simplistic strategy map (compared to CoG). There will be a crowd that will never play nor hear of CoG, but you really don't have to worry about them, anyway. I think many people are going to be repeat buyers and upgraders - people like me, who want to have the new additions to an already awesom game. That core demographic is pretty solid.
Anyway, I think it is worth trumping E:TW, though, just to get the release notice out before the weekend (gives people one chance to be impulsive before E:TW is out). You well understand how a week can seem like an eternity in computer releases (well, at least a DIFFERENT eternity than the one you go through in actually getting them out the door). So a person, sitting a week before E:TW will say "Heck, I can get this, E:TW is still a ways off." At least I rationalize things like that... [:D]

Well said..I generally don't care for RTS games and prefer the CoG gameplay. Therefore, I'm definitely in the repeat buyer/upgrader category. I'm also a Matrix download fanboy since the Summer 2004 WITP release.
