Although I agree with the sentiment of that quote, it is getting on a bit now with patches that come in and fix things so not quite forever
No Man's Sky is probably the only example I can think of where that's true, happy to be corrected.
Cyberpunk 2077

Hence why I said “Not going to happen”......
Rainbow Six Siege was pretty broken at launch, Battlefield 4 is another.
Biggest issue is once your known as a broken game its hard to get people to buy in even if you have fixed it

Doubt we’ll even see the enhanced patch next year.
It really isn't.
We will see.

It’s impossible to say right now.
Gaming journos had hands on with it a few months back and were largely very positive about it, certainly nothing game-breaking or worrying seemed to come out of those previews although I'm equally aware that they'll only be getting shown what's ready to be shown. I suspect hype may have gotten the better of it to some degree as with any massive game like this, but it also seems like people are channelling their disappointment/anger with the delay towards the game itself.
I'm not sure why a three week delay suddenly means the game is crap, but there we go.

Hmmm, interesting move.
Can't say it makes much difference to me personally but I can see why people who are dying to play this will be disappointed, particularly if they have booked time off work.
Really unusual to delay a title thats gone gold. Maybe they are looking to surprise us with a next gen patch for day 1.
My optimism is legendary!

Honestly this is ****, delaying a game with 2-3 weeks before release, what a joke.
Had the week booked off, like many others, didn't they even tweet a week ago that there would be no more delays, laughable!

Sounds like their social media guy isn't getting updates with the guys coding.

They apologised for an oversight and released a press announcement immediately clarifying the position to end speculation.
At the end of the day yes they are human beings, they do make mistakes but more importantly they at least own up to it. Other companies/devs now a days couldn't care less about the consumer and will just release any old crap (aka Fifa/Cod/BF etc).
I get you booked time off and its annoying but if you can't change the date then that is your issue, not theirs.
CDPR clearly want to release a product that is a true representation of their efforts and if it isn't up to their extremely high standard then they are totally within their rights to push it back a few weeks. This is despite previously saying they had no more delays - the old cliche of never say never again comes to mind however, if they have found something extremely game breaking then I'd sure as hell rather they take the time to fix that and or fully test the game on the 9 platforms it is releasing on than tarnish what is shaping up to be game of the century.
Rumour has it the devs/whole company found out the same time we did.
