Half-Life was delayed a full year past its original release date, and Valve has no regrets.

I generally like Valve's approach when it comes to Steam, but as far as game development goes they are more on the "late is forever" side of things.

I like his stance towards realism. People confuse it with believability, when believability is more about having internally consistent rules.
