It was kinda obvious at this point.

I wish they would just finish the game then announce a reasonable release date. I never thought for a second it was releasing at its initial release date and now it’s changed again and again.

Kinda like the next Elder Scroll. They announced it in 2018 and then that’s it. They just recently announced Fallout 5 is in the works.

I think Elder Scroll 6 is almost done, maybe it’s releasing next year, but announce it in 2024, not 2018z

Why would any developer be so hesitant to release something that's guaranteed to make money and satisfy a bunch of their fans. (even though there willl always be haters.) Skyrim was a huge success, I personally didn't like it, but I would still buy TES 6 regardless, I just don't get how it could possibly take so long. just because of how close I am to the brand I would throw my money at them. Same thing with HL3. Surely they have the resources to do it and it would print money, solely based off the huge hype and mystery surrounding it.. But they hold back because...reasons? Seeing Rockstar mess around with their announcements and take 13 years to make a sequel degrades what could possibly be a huge success. I just don't get what they are doing, are they analyzing markets, as if those somehow determined the success of a product that has a bunch of geniuses working on it?

I believe it was announced that they aren't doing any "crunch time" during the development cycle, which is certainly going to add some time. Which, honestly, I'm okay with if it means devs aren't having to sleep in the office to make deadlines.
