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

Didn’t colonial marine turn out to actually have really good AI that totally changed the game feel that had been broken by a single misplaced semi-colon or something?

Well the AI went from “literally dogshit, you can run past them without a second thought” to “oh you have to fight them now.”

Not sure how good it is in the grand scheme, but at least the update fixed their brokenness and made the game playable.
