You keep bringing up CDPR as though that company never delayed their product at all. CP2077 was delayed quite a bit if you'll recall, though the situations between these two are different (SE delayed its qa a bit to fine tune lore, 2077 had been rebuilt from the ground up like...twice). The situations aren't exactly equitable. What's more, most people who are actually annoyed aren't annoyed with the delay itself, just the notification of the delay being so late.
