Funny how everyone seems to act like Daikatana was the only game in history to ever be late. The quote you posted on Planet Daikatana is pure idiocy. Especially given the trials and tribulations of the Diakatana team. But even forgetting that, whoever wrote that obviously has never worked in the software industry where missed deadlines are routine. Windows NT was 2 years late, Microsoft Word for windows was 5 years late.
Game development is even more arbitrary.
