OT: Jedi Academy - the genuine release vs Warez

[Joe Forster/STA]

Hi non-fiction, I'd only like to reply to your "why release it so late" question: there are _always_ bugs in a game or, more generally, a program! The later you release it, the more time your tester team has to test it and the more time your programming/design team has to fix bugs.

Have you ever seen Microsoft delay the release of any of their programs? I guess not. Do you remember what the estimated release date of DOOM was? "Whenever we finish it." Now go see the difference between the quality. It's all a matter of compromise.

And don't bother asking Lucasarts to release the game earlier. I'm sure they won't, meaning you only created an amount of completely redundant E-mails for them to process and, effectively, waste time with!
