Wishmaster777: As for the delays, did you know, guys, this game has been delayed? Like for years. But in seriousness, fuck the delays. Always some sort of delays keeps coming. And the worst part is the delays are no longer a guarantee that the gane will be released in a playable state. Remember the releases after long delays for Wolcen - Lords Of Mayhem, Identity, No Man's Sky, Cyberpunk 2077, and so on.
just to temper this response:
my feeling is that experiment101 are pretty small.
while your reaction is understandable, and while your frustration is palpable, my sense - also - is that the delays are due to games LIKE no man's sky and cyberpunk 2077. that is to say, i think that experiment101 want the game to be good, and they want it to be so right out the gate.
so, with that in mind, i think that the delays are down to bug fixes, quality assurance testing and the like.
yes. they COULD have released it in 2019, and yes, it COULD have been a disaster of a game. you would have gotten what you wanted then [an earlier release] but it would have been buggier and less fun to play.
from this standpoint - and viewing what happened from this perspective, i'd MUCH rather the developers take their time, get it right, and give us a game that is polished and complete rather than a busted, rushed out mess.
[that is EXACTLY what happened with both cyberpunk 2077 + no man's sky - two of your prime examples.]
you need to decide:
do you trust the developers and let them delay the game to make it better?
OR
do you want them to release the game earlier in an unfit state?
i'd prefer them to make it better and for them to have a product they strongly believe in.

having said all this: am i nervous for this game? you bet. while this feels like an aa game, [and not specifically an aaa game] it also feels like a lot is riding on it for experiment101.
i've been curious about it for years [since 2017, more-or-less] and i want it to be good - it is - for me - the first game i've pre-ordered in a 22 year span. so there's a lot riding on this for me, too, in a sense. [and i doubled down and bought an expensive edition of this particular game.]
so, sure. i think you do get to tell me, "i told you so," when this is all over and if it's bad. but please, let's not rush the developers. let's not pressure them. they only really get one release window. let's rather hope for the best for them.
