| Kasz216 said: So you are saying people shouldn't be pissed that they willingly sat on their asses to wait for development, because they were waiting for a bigger userbase? Blizzard works around the concept of releasing a game whenever they damn please? How so. Becaues they just released Starcraft 2? There was never even real mention they were working on starcraft 2 until like... a year ago. |
I see you aren't familiar with Blizzard at all. Starcraft 2 was announced 3 years ago, had already been in development since 2003, and was a direct sequel to a game that released a decade ago. This actually represents a decrease between time of announcement and launch of the game. World of Warcraft also represents how slow they are with about 5 years between release and announcement, including a beta that lasted over a year. The current trend of releasing an expansion every 2 years is also glacialy slow as the MMO market typically has 1-2 per year with all kinds of incremental content patches in the middle. Compare WoW and EQ2 patch count, and expansions to get a concept of this as they were released side by side. They are notorious for making you wait. Believe me, or look into it yourself and see that I am right. Your call.
And again, you are misrepresenting my argument. I wish I could still quote myself easily on these new fangled forums but I will settle for a paraphrase. If someone wants to say they lost interest in GT5 somewhere along the way then I get it. No one is bitching about that. This is about the people throwing up their hands because the game has been delayed once.
