Gabe Newell on why game delays are okay: 'Late is just for a little while. Suck is forever.'
Half-Life was delayed a full year past its original release date, and Valve has no regrets.
WHYAREWEALLCAPS, The problem is so many studios are owned by publicly traded companies. Those companies expect, nay, demand that product ships during the quarter it was supposed to lest they face the stockholders' wrath.
CJOtheReal, See the problem is just greed

Gaben with the wisdom of experience.
TwilightVulpine, (edited ) I generally like Valve's approach when it comes to Steam, but as far as game development goes they are more on the "late is forever" side of things.
I like his stance towards realism. People confuse it with believability, when believability is more about having internally consistent rules.
phi1997, Reminds me of that one Miyamoto quote
brotkel, 
Not actually said by Miyamoto, at least not originally. Turns out it was said by Ellen Beeman of Origin (Wing Commander II, etc.)
