I wouldn’t call it HL3 type delay. Valve delayed it because they weren’t satisfied with what they were coming up with. Most studios get stuck in development hell due not to people saying “we could do better” but not being able to properly create what they have. It just ends up with people slogging to make something that would have taken four years before. People can blame technology advances or engines becoming more complex but everyone knows that’s bullshit. It’s just another excuse to attempt to justify the sheer level of incompetence that exists within the industry today. All of these bastards know their positions are in constant jeopardy. They hate gamers because we are the ones that ensure whether they are able to pump out another shit show and so they want us all to be mindless consumers with little to no criticality. I people say blame the suits not the devs but the devs act like suits. They don’t try anything new, they don’t strive to be better. They just surround themselves with sycophants and tells themselves that they’re the second coming of John Carmack or whatever dev you want to use. And then when their shit fails and they have to face the music they blame gamers for not eating the trash. While learning absolutely nothing.
