    We have learned this lesson before, especially from Cyberpunk. Don’t realease it until it is ready. Even if that takes 20+ years. You have to make it worth the wait, so you might as well perfect it. I have plenty of time and patience.

      At some point it’s just mismanagement and blows any potential profit out the window.

          Well today I learned why Duke Nukem all of a sudden was inserted into my life at the age of 10. Never even played the games, my Dad would just not stop talking about it.

            Yeah definitely an old ass series with exception of DNF, which honestly should’ve probably been buried alongside ET in the desert. I remember being hyped for DNF for the first 5 years of development, before I just completely gave up on it coming out.

      There’s a balance. You want it good before releasing, but you don’t want to spend forever chasing perfection. It’s hard as outsiders to know which they’re doing sadly.
