I disagree. My understanding of it is this:
Theres two parties responsible for Sh4. The developers, and the publisher. The publisher is Ubisoft, the developers are ultimatly at the whims of the publisher. The publisher is the guy with the cigar in his mouth, worried only about the bottom line. To minimize his expenditures, and maximize his profits. Anything else to the publisher, is not important.
The developers on the otherhand, are the guys who make these games because they love these games. If left to their own devices, SH4 would probably still be in development, and would be released in alot better condition. However, the publisher, mr suspender man with the chomping on his cigar, didn't quite leave them alone to do their magic and imposed deadlines to meet. Sh3 was given 2+ years of development time, SH4 was only given, what... 11 months, if that?
If i was to point fingers, id point them at the Publisher. The developers who cruise this forum, are not the cause, they're in the same boat as we are.
