Imagine wanting some accountability for failing to meet your stated objectives and the expectations you yourself put in place. How horrible. Such terrible people we are.

So cancel you sub. That is the only way you can hold them accountable. All other accountability will be within the business itself.

I play this game every day. Why would I do that? You think the only solution to total mismanagement is for individual players to stop enjoying the game? I don't agree with that at all. Personally, I'm just not completely won over and totally forgiving the moment someone begins to show emotion. I prefer to see results, but so far along the whole process, we've gotten the opposite of that.

If he couldn't make the deadline, he never should have canceled the 5.5 Ultimate. That's the worst part of it all. I would have rather they delay the expansion by 3 months and give us that Ultimate rather than scrap the Ultimate promising to make the deadline only to delay it anyways.

I work retail, I took time off, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

FYI This is a creative decision, Not a caproate one, If you actually watched the live letter you'd have heard the part where they say This is YoshiPs decision, that SE aren't happy about it but it works because its HIS PROJECT.

The actual audacity of you demanding a two month delay on a game that's already 6 months behind its normal release schedule because it doesn't work with your off time, is ASTOUNDING

TL:DR Get a better job.

This is a really a**hole thing to say, which is rich coming from someone acting as if they had the moral high ground

That's as honest as they get.. I prefer that over words coated in sugar. At least that's what most of them are thinking.

I bet everything seems like the highground when you play a lalafel <3

Better read the ToS modifications because these jokes are no longer allowed here.

Delays are good for a game. it's sad that it has caused a big inconvenience for time off, but I'd rather have it ship out ready

If Yoshida was anyone other than Yoshi-P, this may very well have costed him his job. This isn't a mid-expansion patch, or an Ultimate tier. This is an entire expansion. You might have also just noticed that I mentioned previous delays, and if you're really perceptive, you will have noticed how there seems to be a pattern that has developed. It might not concern you, but it most certainly does me.

Your trust and confidence in the team is very commendable, but it isn't about them and their work ethic. This is about you, and the rest of us, the consumer. This is about SE's continuous inability to deliver on time. You might remember that EW was already previously pushed back in 2020 when the bug dropped on us, and we knew we would not get it in summer of 2021. Again, we have already been patient; we have already been understanding. When you keep seeing the goalposts being moved and a carrot over your head, you eventually have to wise up and say, "I am not doing this anymore."

Im just going to stop you there and point out that this is the first time in 11 years that they've EVER had to delay an expansion or even a patch after its reveal date. And I mean EVER. The expansion coming later than normal was already expected they explained that the covid delays disrupted their sheduling and development by nearly 2 months which was unavoidable and they simply could not reclaim this time because of it. As for this last minute delay they've kept everyone informed of the development process including how this expansion is going to be far more content packed than anything before this.

I can understand that there's dissapointment and all but Yoshi is one of those exceptionally few leaders who always stick to their deadlines and always have delivered in the past. The fact that the QA timing and his desire to complete a final proper check of everything to the point that hes willing to bite the bullet and make a once in a blue moon rarity delay of only 2 weeks shows the dedication being put in to make this a success and honestly this is the one time people like yourself should just accept this.
