WOTS was that Microsoft wanted/needed it released before their year end or something like that... not sure if its true, but I think Gamepass needed some kind of content.
Delays are preferable to buggy releases...No way Arkane didn't know this was buggy, just like Respawn and Jedi: Survivor.
Technology giving devs the opportunity to patch has allowed them to meet shipping dates, but its gone from minor patches to fixing major issues. Some of the videos being posted are laughably bad.
Games can come back - Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have been able to comeback from the dead. Days Gone ended up selling well, but reviews were not good and Sony isn't greenlighting a sequel (so far) based on this - it isn't based on sales, as it actually did well especially for a new IP
MS had the ability to press pause. They didn't. Hopefully they learn a lesson with Starfield. Release that game buggy would be a PR disaster...and Bethesda isn't exactly know for non-buggy releases.
