That's what we would like to think. But listen to your heart if this is really true in an age where content is purposefully removed from games before release to sell it for a premium later.

OK i see were now in tin foil hat territory, Im out.

Believe me, I'm always a proponent for DLC and I think companies have all the right to chop their product into little pieces and sell it individually. That's exactly why I believe that all business decisions are made with profit in mind. Adding content to a delayed game just to make it better for the consumer doesn't sound like something anyone would do.

LIke it or not one of the most important thing to pubs is the meta score, Dev bonuses are often paid out based on meta score and meeting dead lines. Devs have every incentive to make a better game even if for some reason you think these devs only make games for financial gain (You know not because there passionate about what there making.). 

Publishers are more and more only interested in new IP's that they can build a franchise off, which again means releasing a first game thats not a complete stinker or buggy mess.
