Sloppy Jims

Ever notice that when a game developer is anxious to get their game on the market, it tends to come out "sloppy?" They set a release date, but their development team doesn't quite reach the goals in time? And instead of simply pushing back their release date so they can have a complete and finished project, fully tested and refined, they release their "sloppy" game anyway. The hope that people will overlook the mess they made of a potentially phenomenal game because, hey, it was released on time?

Back when Blizzard was developing the Warcraft strategy games, they got a ton of flack because they kept pushing back their release date. But guess what, it was well worth the wait, and they are a far more successful company for having done so. 


My plea here is to all the developers who are going to release an incomplete game, just to save face about a release date, don't do it! We as a gaming community will understand if you need more time to make your game epic, however, we do not easily overlook a "sloppy" release.
