So your point is to say that delays are good for games eventually

My point is that delays in development are a natural process in most games and shouldn't be applauded. In the end it's just an extension of the production time to reach the point they were planning to reach to begin with and not beyond that point.

Yes, it should be applauded compared to game that are not finished and polished and still are released. It's good that some publishers care about the game quality

What if I told you that these unfinished and unpolished games were delayed multiple times internally for the good of the game?

What if I told you that some developers manage to release quality games on time or at least are able to produce feasible release windows that they won't overstep?

The only thing a delay says about the game is that somewher someone was sucking at his job. A thing that shouldn't be applauded, ever. They care about quality but only to the extent where it benefits them. Depending on where that line is even a delayed game can suck.
