| Regarding releasing early, Sigil managed to get money from two large game companys to finish a game and still didnt manage to deliver. Of course the people paying forced a release, you would too if you had spent so much money on a project and the only reply you get is "Soon(tm)". I doubt the money-guy even heard of WoW, TBC or whatever, he was doing his job making sure the product shipped so they could recover some money from it.
Its easy to forget that most decissions about the games we play are handled by people who dont know how to start solitare in Windows. Expecting them to keep up with releases of expansions and shit for other games is, unfortunatly, day dreaming. Sadly it comes back to bit you in the ass sooner or later.
