[QUOTE="Dr_Ruminahui, post: 5505409, member: 81104"] I don't follow your logic here... how does releasing an incomplete/buggy product and then fixing it slow down other projects more than completing the project/removing the bugs and then releasing it? The fact that the product has already been released to the public doesn't make completing the product take any longer - indeed, which more eyes (everyone using it) to spot bugs, you would think WotC would be able [I]to [/I]save work, as it doesn't need as many of its own bug testers. Now, I can understand that some customers might well object to WotC using them as unpaid bug testers, but I don't see how them doing so would slow down other WotC projects. And yes, releasing something like the new Monster Builder may well delay physical products such as books (which appears to be your concern). How much so is arguable, as its unlikely that the people working on the digital products don't have much to with the books. However, even if it does, isn't that true for[I] any[/I] product that WotC might work on - surely if WotC works on Book A, the resources being used on Book A aren't available for Book B. [/QUOTE]
