L4D is bigger than an Episode of Half Life? I won't even judge the content of that quote, because you are only measuring bigger as more content, not on quality and importance as I was measuring.

Blizzard main reason for the delays of SC2 and D3 has and will always be WoW, not some smaller projects. WoW is the biggest cash cow of Blizzard so it's obvious that the biggest amount of support and team development will go to that game, especially since Blizzard is now owned by Activision.
And about that SC2 thread, that was what? A year ago? Roughly the same time the whole D3 anger struck the forums as well. What many people overlooked in SC2 being split into three expansions was the fact that the whole core of the game, the multiplayer can be played with any of the expansions, and also, it's not like they have never done that before. Brood War was supposed to be part of the original game as well, yet they decided to make it an expansion, Warcraft 2 and 3 also had expansions of their own. I don't want to start an argument over it so let's just move on.

The delays of FF are in the same degree of the delays of GT in my opinion, because we were never given a specific release date for FFXIII. That was, once again, just pure fan speculation and conjecture, which still revolves around my main point in this whole discussion, fans make up this "dates" and "delays" because they hope that the game will be released when they want, instead of what the developer officialy sets it out to be released.

I hate it when people compare GT "delays" to the official delays of a Duke Nukem Forever or something of the sort, because it isn't even remotely comparable, but in the mind of those who do that, it's the same, since they have made up a date which they wanted the game to be released.

Ok, so do you care to share your measurements that show Episode 3 is both of higher quality and more important than Left 4 Dead?

I showed you Starcraft 2 got bitched about. What more do you want? All you're doing now is trying to write it off as inconsequential to prove your earlier point that it doesn't get bitched about. That was epic meltdown bitching. I encourage you to find me a link that has more malice in it regarding GT5. I'll take out my malice measuring cup and weigh the two.

With FF XIII, you keep going back to the false delays to compare it to GT5's delays, and I'm not sure why. I never made a comment about GT5 being delayed. You seem to be projecting a generic argument towards the thread onto me. My argument was that Polyphony pushed aside GT5 for projects that will likely review poorly in comparison, have poorer word of mouth and will sell far less, and that they should have concentrated on the bread and butter project that affords this them all this sweet time in the first place to get it right.

If you know your game takes 180 days just for each car model, and you want to put 1000 cars in your game, how about putting some concentration into it and not releasing the PSP game you already said would come out afterwards? People are expecting certain things because they were told certain things. You say the game isn't delayed. Fine. However it was supposed to be top priority over GT PSP and it ended up not being so, and that's just as bad as a delay is.
