It seems to me that the release delay was not done to make it more polished but it was simply time needed just to get it sorta OK.

But all that is of course guesswork and we will be a lot wiser in 2 weeks time.

You may be correct, but I just find it hard to believe that there wasn't some type of go/no go meeting in late January and they took a look at the remaining items list/bug list*** and figured that they needed to delay a couple of weeks until March 4th to finish/polish and squash the bugs. I mean, how can experienced game developers not know that their baby is far from ready?

And could they really think that getting it, "sorta OK" would be acceptable?

***But then again, I am always kind of shocked that what must be major known bugs are allowed to slide by. And how do we know that these bugs are known? Because it takes the gaming public all of about 1 day to identify them.
