I dont understand the hurry. it's been over a decade since the last game who cares if this one comes out a few months late
It's business/management reasons, not fan or dev reasons imho.
You know, a real leader™ gets results - to-dos done, (extended) deadlines achieved, pipeline updates for the supervisory board, a KPI of how many times per day project managers ask their teams 'how is the task progressing/are we on track' & reminding them of the scrum/agile/ABC bullshit, etc.
A "real" leader "gets things done" by just whipping the employees
They’ve delayed the release twice. I’m sure shareholders are nervous.
Direction and management failed at planning correctly, so of course the rest of employees have to fix it instead
GTA doesn't really strike me as a franchise to have the most mature and patient fans. And it's already been delayed a year. Delaying more would be reminiscent of other development hell games and be terrible PR they're trying to avoid.
They could have always not announced a release date until they were confident.
I mean ideally yes. But they screwed that one up already.
I'm not advocating it as the right approach by any means.
