There’s more games out there than the time I have to play them.

and that’s perfectly fine? As a Zelda fan, the wait for TOTK was absofuckinglutely worth it

I swear to god, I don’t know how anyone could be impatient about this. Have you played every other video game that’s been released during the ~50 yr history of video games? No? Ok, go play one of those or touch some goddamn grass

dub,

I mean there’s definitely a limit right? Like if you take too long you’ll need to scrap some tech to keep up to date. Or you get into dev hell. Look at Duke Nukem and other crazy long sequels

I mean, Dragon Age Dreadwolf has been in development for a full decade now at this point.

I’m ok with games taking longer to come out if it means they’re actually finished when they come out. The problem is games are taking longer to come out, but when they do, they’re generally a buggy mess.

Not rushing devs? Good thing.

Devs still shoveling the same shit but a year later? Bad thing.

Good.

The less pressure companies feel to churn out the next entry in their critically acclaimed series once a year, the better games, as a whole, will be.

i would like to say "good, it means more time for a polished game and hopefully less developer crunch"; but from the article's chart i can't see much of a trend at alla chart (missing the labels unfortunately) showing absolutely no increasing trend in time between releases
