    Honestly, the amount of time it takes AAA titles like this to launch is crazy. Buuut if that’s the price we pay for getting a finished, somewhat bug free experience, then so be it. I’d rather that that crunch leading to burnout and a product that gets rushed out to appease shareholders (stares in 2077).

      I would agree, if that’s actually what’s happening.

      However, looking at how the gaming industry does things… I think it’s more likely that it takes so long because the game has either been put on ice or they have a completely understaffed team working on it slowing, development to a crawl. And then, once the company suddenly decides they want to release it, they’re going to force crunch time, anyway.

      I’d be very happy if my suspicions turn out wrong, but…

        Yeah… I’m trying to remain somewhat optimistic but in all likelihood you’re right.

      I’m not sure what to expect at this point. I would hope it’s very well polished. But it is Bethesda. So who knows. Haha.
