  5. I find games being delayed a lot less annoying than games that ship broken, unfinished, buggy or that require you to download a patch the size of the entire game itself before you can start playing it.

    Generally I will only be upset about a delay to a game I really, really want. Although it can be frustrating, especially if its not the first delay, I’m still going to buy it when it comes out. However if the developer/publisher push the game out too soon I will defiantly think twice before looking to purchase any of their future products.
