I realize you want to release the game in the best shape possible. But to delay the release date for FOUR months when you promised a Feb 2015 release date is unacceptable. By the fucking time MAY comes, the weather will be warm, who wants to fucking sit inside in MAY. I mean this was meant to be a winter game as far as I'm concerned. Your hellish delay is completely ridiculous. Why couldn't you have the game release ready by the promised date? Why give a release date of Feb if you needed FOUR more months?
Tired of game companies promising release dates and then changing them. That is so 2003. I doubt I'll be playing this in May. Will probably wait until the following winter when the price goes down. Thanks guys, really nice, real nice.
Entitlement is a word that tends to get overused sometimes in Video Games, and it reached an all-time high of overuse during the ME3 ending fiasco.
However this... This is real entitlement.
Wait until Winter then, nobody is missing out but yourself (And we certainly don't care) and it's actually only for your benefit. The game will reduce in price and you'll be able to play it in presumably its most bug-free state and with all the DLC.
And what about this bullshit? I didn't even see this linked article at first. How fucking dare you PROMISE no more release delays, then delay the game AFTER that promise, for FOUR more months. You know what? It DOES seem like this is the first game you've made. This is completely unacceptable. How fucking dare any of you.
Two words: Shit happens. Yes, it was a stupid statement for them to make. Nobody will deny that, but they've also
acknowledged it was a stupid statement,
apologized with sincerity and ensured that this is most definitely it now.
No person or company is perfect. Just how CDPR attempting to sue pirates was dumb, just like how initially putting DRM on TW2 was dumb. They've made mistakes, but they've realized those mistakes, apologized and they haven't made either of those mistakes again. Presumably in the future they will not only be smarter about how (IF) they delay a project, and if they do, they won't make such a statement ever again, it's about learning from your mistakes and presumably they will learn from this one.
Usually there can be a minor distinction between overreaction and unreasonable. Here it doesn't matter, you're being both.
