If you're referring to this post, which I'll quote here:

Then the best thing to do is just stop doing Friday updates and then at least I'll only be damned one way instead of two.

The problem is never in what's promised. The problem is always in what's expected, versus what's delivered. I never came on here last week saying there was a huge update for last Friday and somehow didn't live up to my promise. You guys went overboard predicting what it was and didn't get what you wished for or hoped for.

You know what it is for this week. It'll be exactly what I said it would be. After that, we'll have to see.

then I think some people have imputed emotions to it that aren't neccessarily there. He sounded to me, when I first read it, like he was slightly annoyed, but arguing clear-headedly and rationally, and his "we'll have to see" just meant "I'm not promising anything specific after this week" (which is fair, since they rarely promise anything in advance any week).

In the light of Bethesda's silence for so long after the Take2 announcement, some people started interpreting it as Pete saying he was packing up his bat and ball and going home. But I don't think that's the only interpretation of what he said, or even a particularly likely one.
