This needs to be a statement that fixing up your mistakes rather than abandoning is what earns respect. Well done Hello Games. A great game, getting better by the day.
Maybe 50% of the respect that they lost from the botched release & pre-release lies. This should not be an example of how to do things, because that’d lead to it becoming an actual business model.
It already is. Unfortunately. The fixing after isn’t though.
I’m not saying we forgot what they said they would do. At least they made the intention to deliver eventually. This isn’t a AAA company with bottomless pockets. They overcommitted and at least tried to fix it. They didn’t take folks money and run though, they delivered.
That is what we already get. They just abandon it after. Delivering it eventually is a novel response. They ain’t a AAA company. The resources and delivery track record isn’t there.

“Fixing your mistakes” aka making your lies about what’s in the game actually come true
It isn’t a lie then. A mere delay.
Remember, this isn’t a AAA with bottomless pockets and a track record of delivery.
8 years though?!

Still the most respectful way to release a game is when it’s baked. Not some abomination that takes 5 years after release to hit it’s target.
I admire the perseverance but still they knew their game was lightyears away from being finished and they released it anyway.
If we accept studios releasing unfinished games as long as they fix it later on… That’s all we are gonna get in the future.
