So indies now too are as bad as AAA games when it comes to delays and showing off games too early

I'm just pointing out the double standards, with these people who think being cynical is the new cool thing.

People hate on AAA games because they're always delayed and shown too early, but then try to justify when it happens with indies with excuses that they're small. Why would that even matter? Those indies are making games according to their capabilities, size and budget, they aren't making AAA sized games.

...

But it is double standards for a reason. Everyone does and should have higher expectations of AAA game development. They're under far more scrunity because they have near unlimited teams and resources to complete the work.

No they dont. They're sized according to their needs, if a game demands 200 devs to finish in 36 months then they're not gonna pull 400 devs for the job for half the time. You're not entitled to a better polished game if you go AAA. Because the AAA dev doesn't make a indie game on AAA budget.

Also AAA is not some magic status which grants you infinite amount of budget and team size. Some unforeseen shit happens during development, or it's taking longer than anticipated, game needs to be delayed, happens regardless whether you're indie or AAA.
