Dumb?
Well thanks for that. But you missed my point... games with short development cycles can be great, or can suck... and the same can be said for games with lengthy development cycles.

In my eyes... it's not the length of the development that matters. It's the quality of the final product. And while the development cycle leads to the quality of the product, the length of the development should not be used as a way to judge the quality of the product.
