Honestly, the amount of time it takes AAA titles like this to launch is crazy. Buuut if that's the price we pay for getting a finished, somewhat bug free experience, then so be it. I'd rather that that crunch leading to burnout and a product that gets rushed out to appease shareholders (stares in 2077).

I would agree, if that's actually what's happening.

However, looking at how the gaming industry does things… I think it's more likely that it takes so long because the game has either been put on ice or they have a completely understaffed team working on it slowing, development to a crawl. And then, once the company suddenly decides they want to release it, they're going to force crunch time, anyway.

I'd be very happy if my suspicions turn out wrong, but…

Xbox Games Showcase is on Sunday so hopefully we'll see new trailer or something

I doubt it. It will be years before we hear anything of it again

Sheesh! I wasn't holding my breath then. And I'm not holding it now. I played Oblivion in school. Skyrim right after college.

Now my hair is gray and il be 40 in a couple years.

It's normal. They announced they're working on the game. Making big games takes years.
That's how it goes.
