How about shipping a full game for once? It’s been six years and you’ve delayed it once already. Get it together and have some dignity.

Unfortunately that is the state of games nowadays. I can’t even blame 343 for following this trend at least, it is the most profitable after all.

I am 100% sure that if they released a full game, delay or no delay, that they would make more money due to player retention.

I disagree. Modern advertising tactics and schemes are a much easier to way to make money. Earning it through good will is hard and risky, although I do think better for the game in the long run, it is not necessarily more profitable.

Look up “Halo” on Google News right now and you’ll see just how much good advertisement they’re getting right now. Everyone’s pissed.
