I dont get why you guys hate game delays.

Apparently they're fixing something or making something better in the game if there's an delay.

Why do you guys hate delays??

most hate them because they had been waiting for a game for a long time and then have to wait even longer.

Yeah, if you can't uphold your statement, don't make it. It's better to have a release date that you think is beyond when the game will be ready, then then you have lots of cushion if the game game takes longer than expected, or, if the game is ready when you thought it would be (AKA before the date you released) then all the fans waiting would be quite plesently surprised.

Because we get our hopes up so we're all;
"Yes! Haze is coming out this time next week! Can't wait, wanna come round when it does come out, get some beer and co-op through?"

I hate them because the developer promises they'll deliver something by a certain date. When they don't, you're disappointed. Developers either need to set more realistic release dates or just not set one at all until they're absolutely sure when it will come out.

We get all hyped up about a game release and plan when to get it, but then it gets delayed and ruins your plans. EX: GTA IV

I don't mean this maliciously or anything, but what a stupid question. why do we hate delays? because you get built up and excited, like yes 10 days till release wooop woop! OH WAIT A SEC, IT'S NOT OUT FOR ANOTHER 3 MONTHS. yeah ok they're making it better, but they shouldn't have said the original date and they should decide 1 date which should be final after completely overviewing and summarising the game.

Because when you get your hopes up for the game, it's a bit dissappointing being let down. You should understand why.

What if the game comes out in 10 days and when you play, it has bugs, glitches or other issues. As if you would wait alittle longer than have an excellent game.

I'd rather have a game now and patch it later. Time is money. Also, they often delay games to increase their profits in certain fiscal quarters that may not be all too great looking otherwise.

Did you listen to anything everyone's been saying? Don't make promises and push the promised date back.

End of story.
