Lets be honest... the amount of money Amazon has spent on their game studio, there's zero reason for these constant delays. As pointed out several times, all that money and yet whoever is in charge of hiring developers, artists and so on doesn't seem to have a clue. This is purely management mayhem.
This amount of mismanagement is almost as bad as Star Citizen.
That fact that you seem to think that money can automatically speed up the development of games shows you're the one who doesn't have a clue.
I mean, why even bother to pretend what goes on behind these big studios?
It's not like delays and changes in release dates are uncommon, in fact they are the norm, the only uncommon thing is companies announcing those delays as they are usually dealt behind closed doors.
And the sad thing is that gamers with this attitude are usually the same ones who crucify companies for releasing "rushed" games lol
If you think the people making NW have any fucking clue what they are doing, than I have to wonder if you even know what you're talking about. There have been plenty of game studios with far less money getting the job done in better time. Do you even know how much money has been thrown at Amazon game studios to make a damn game? They've attempted to make like 3 games now, 2 flopped and 1 is in constant change and delays.
Because their manager didn't know a thing about video games to start with...
The developers complained about that.
The new manager is a gamer, and wants things done right. It already felt in last August's event.
What are the names of these two managers you keep talking about? As far as I know the head honcho of Amazon game studios is still Mike Frazzini the Amazon lifer who came up through the books division and has no clue about games.
Nope. Now it's Chrisoph Hartmann, co-founder of 2K Games He arrived end 2018 and had to clean the mess.
You can feel his influence in the progress of New World.
Didn't realize Frazzini had been replaced. That's a very good thing indeed.

Just because a game is delayed multiple times doesn't mean its going to be fixed at release, its not like we forgot all about how cyberpunk 2077 got multiple delays and then got a buggy release anyway.
Its obvious to anyone why new world keeps getting delays and that's not a good thing. Hard to tell how much time its going to take to actually fix this one.
Iselin: And the next person who says "but it's a business, they need to make money" can just go fuck yourself.
Proof will be in the pudding. Amazon has everything to lose and I think they are getting that with 2 billion lost so far. Its not a cheap education. Question: Have they learned? 2021 is all theirs to answer that question.
