I find this rather dumb, development time for any product is important. If it takes too long people will be skeptical or if it was released to quickly people will be skeptical. Look at L4D2, developed in under a year and was under scrutiny from the start. Now it barely manages to get 10k people a day which is rather small and puny for a relatively new game. Now look at prey, had a small burst of popularity and now no one talks about it anymore.

The question everyone will be asking is "Was the game worth the 15+ years of waiting?". Most people will say no while some would say yes.
