It's basically whishful thinking and I'm pretty sure it's a stupid idea. But I almost think if something happens post November 4, like more riots because of either candidates' win, CDPR would delay the game once more to "let more important voices heard" like they did with Night City Wire during summer.
I know it's stupid. One is a glorified conference that would be ignored in the news cycle, the other is a straight up release of a game and, more important, product that makes profit
