Of course, no one likes when a game is delayed, but as we’re seeing that more developers have been delaying titles and I’m ok with it. We’ve seen what happens to titles when they could do with more development time and instead are rushed out the door. It’s bad for the developers, the publishers, and of course, us, the people who buy those titles. So, if 34BigThings needs more time, I’m ok with that and should you as well.
