going by their recent track record, I couldn't be less excited about this game.

If it's anything like Valhalla or odyssey I'm probably gonna like it, those games were amazing
Good for them!
Fuck the abuse of crunch.
They saw the new Ghosts game and went "Fuck"
I'm not reading the article but why does the title still need to phrase it like the devs are the ones who need more time, suggesting they haven't finished making the game a month and a half ahead of release? We already know that investors got spooked by Star Wars exploding because of its sales model with special editions driving up the prices for some bullshit, and we know AC was supposed to do the same but now won't. They literally just said "actually we're going back to simultaneous Steam release and we're dropping the special editions and we're rethinking the season's pass from scratch and so-and-so will now be free instead of paid DLC" like a couple weeks ago. I can see that they did that following devs advice, but it wasn't that the devs needed time, ever since the advent of DLC there have been multiple games from big companies where we've heard that the dev team fought against garbage DLC and sales practice but were told to fuck off and do what they were told and then the game exploded. The sales department is the one that needs more time to rethink the worth of cutting this down and selling the pieces, and then have the devs adjust all that.
