Microprose sure is getting a lot of free publicity here. I wonder if
that's what they're up to.

Yep. It seems they are getting a lot of bad publicity for free.

Yeah, but not much good publicity.

ANY publicity is GOOD publicity...

Is it likely that any versions of GP2 floating around will have been
deliberately nobbled to make them run slow?

That would be a good way of minimizing the effect of any piracy of the
show demos, wouldn't it. So, do developers do this?

And that release date of June 28: isn't that a Friday? The game would be
bound to be released on a Monday, eh?

Nope, for example Civilization II (also Microprose) was released on a Friday.
I guess that maybe Saturday is the biggest day for sales?

I don't think so, most PSX games that have been released in the UK have come out
on a Friday....

You are right. Microprose almost always release games at the end of
the month on a Friday, for the simple reason that that is when most
people get paid :)
