Isnt it delayed 2 yrs already? Was that not to avoid crunch? If not, they were manipulating consumers and investors with intentionally false projections
It was delayed two years because the game is stuck in dev hell. It doesn't matter how fast you're going if you can't steer in the right direction.
That is just business these days. The idea is to get away with it long enough before jumping out of the burning wreckage with your golden parachute, so that you can do it all over again somewhere else.
