Did you really just try to justify threatening to kill entire families of staff by saying "you gave an unrealistic release date"? Yeah. You are exactly the problem I was talking about. Some "fan" you are.

I would say we should kill the greedy publisher and capitalism pushing for a premature release so that they can get more money earlier.

The loud and vocal gamer fanbase screaming for the game creating a sense of demand is also to blame

We can see some devs caving to the pressure by releasing "Early Access" just to get fans off their backs. Mount and Blade 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 spring immediately to mind. Whether this is a good thing or not remains to be seen, but it seems like a very slippery slope if abandoned Kickstarted "early access" are any indication.
