1. Game Delays

My Original Stance: They are terrible and reflect poorly on the developer and publisher.

My New Stance: We need more delays.

After playing MCC multiplayer and Assassin's Creed Unity/Rogue, I truly believe that games should be delayed more. I was wrong when I insisted that games being delayed reflected poorly on the people who made them. A few months of delay to iron out some issues is much preferable to have a completely broken game at launch.

Your new stance is a excuse for poorly developer/publisher schedule and management.

The game don't need to be delayed to be good... it needs to be planned with the right date... instead to push a holiday 2014 launch just say your game is scheduled to March 2015.

Say we needs delays is a terrible ideia... anybody that works on any software project knows if you need delay a project is because you planned it wrong.

Games needs to have good planning.

Many times complications come up during development that require the game to be delayed. This generation especially, where the codes for games are so complex, there is a high chance for a game to come out buggy. Publishers will try to force a release date to meet holiday rush and appease stock holders, but this has negatively affected games. Sometimes, publishers just need to admit defeat and give the devs more time to polish their work.
