Id rather it was playable than broken though. Being a programmer myself I can see how things go over schedule I'm already 4 weeks over deadline on my latest project.

Yeah, but should we really praise them for not releasing a broken product? Isn't that their god damn job in the first place?

Aren't you just being angry just to be angry? In a highly anticipated game many people want to play it as soon as they can. So when a dev says they have to delay (as many developers have, SONY, Nintendo, MS) a release people get disapointed, often severely. Often they tell themselves that perhaps with the delay the game will be better than what it could have been had there not been the delay. They are attempting to see a silver lining, it's human nature.
