Nintendo, definitely. I mean, wasn't Phantom Hourglass supposed to be a DS LAUNCH GAME? That's just insane.

The other two biggies are Blizzard and Valve, but I'll also add whatever company is developing Duke Nukem Forever. =P

3D Realms they announced Duke Nukem Forever in aprill 1997 and they also worked on Prey which took 11 years to be released.

Square-Enix, the thing is they dont really put a definite release date on any of their games.... ever unless they are finished.

tecnically they are not delaying them, just really annoying the consumer as their games are really hyped up at announcement, but 3 years later some of that hype is lost when the game eventually comes out

Square-Enix.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
