Is it? Why?
And do you mean all of the threads about the delay? Or this one specifically?

Most of the threads, the ones complaining on some similar basis of taking time off from their jobs.

Like almost any complaint thread, they do not come from a very well-reasoned position and don't foster productive discussion. I'm not opposed to forums having an off-topic rant section that people can vent in, but I think the argument for stuff like this belonging in a general discussion section is pretty weak. Forgive my French, but these are usually just the starting point for benchfest threads.

What are those?

That's cute, you expect "well-reasoned position and don't foster productive discussion" here.

That's a little broader subject for this forum. I suppose it has partly to do with being associated to a child's hobby, a toy in video format. Something that may be expected for people to outgrow as they mature.

Anyways, this is a video game forum. So certain topics might be in focus more than they would be outside of this community.
