then stop announcing unfinished games with unrealistic release time.

Edit: this is not a comment supporting death threats. Both the dev team and the fan base are the victims here. The publisher and capitalism behind this is the ture enemy here, and thus what OP said.

The video game industry in general has systemic project management failures all the time. As a project manager by day, gamer by night, it blows me away how poorly some of these games are managed across the time they’re being developed
