[QUOTE="Trickster Spirit, post: 7669223, member: 6701829"] When video games get delayed because of actual development taking longer than expected (as opposed to marketing or distribution concerns which might push the release date around by a few weeks), they're typically pushed back a full 6 months - sometimes more than once, if even the suits are convinced the game needs more work. Which sucks, but given how many rushed, buggy games end up getting released half-baked, delays are actually a good thing in my eye. Of course if they're synchronizing the releases across all brands, that might mean the tabletop game and MMO don't see any new content in that second half of the year. So it becomes a cost-benefit analysis of deciding whether it's best to have one cross-branded release covering everything 6-12 months from now, or to get the content out now and aim for the the next cross-branded release to cover all bases.
