It's clear that they want to but they wanna avoid the bad press as "The company that cancelled several games this generation." They HAVE to drag this game out as long as possible and if they gotta drag it into the next generation then so be it.
But whatever happens, the blowback that this game is gonna receive when it comes out is gonna be fukking legendary, gonna be Sea of Thieves but worse.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if businesses worked this way
The reason for any delays would be cloud related. Cloudengine is real, and our speeds are catching up to the requirements. You will see it in action sooner than you think.
As for the people talking about canceling, what kind of moronic thought is that? We are gamers and they are trying to entertain us. So cut the fanboy or brainwashed because of the internet mentality and work on your backlogs til the next game you care about disappoints you. Miserable b*stards, I'll just have to stick with the original crackdown in 4K til it's ready
