@jcharp: Yeah, it takes long periods of time to get anything done. I got diverged from the PvE content mostly due to the folks I played with stopped playing and decided to try PvP. Boy... utterly boring from my experience. Spend 55 minutes waiting for something to happen for 5 minutes of excitement.
@dominoodle: Better to be delayed and have a few more bugs ironed out than to release it earlier and be a technical mess. Otherwise, you'll get what we're seeing with No Man's Sky on PC.
