A maxim I wish more game studios and publishers would adopt. Yes, I understand the immense financial pressures that make it effectively impossible but it's really a tragedy to see so much man-hours and artistic creativity wasted on games that could have been good or great given more time to bake.

ironically many of the greats nowaday patch the suck post release,so forever can be day one

Some foreshadowing of Valve creating Steam, in the parts about having trouble finding a publisher and eventually going with Sierra.
