Well we have Dune (took ten years-was terrible), John Carter of Mars (Took 81 years-was a box office bomb), The Cobbler and the Thief (Was being made by the genius behind Roger Rabbit and was started in the 70's, only for it to be chop down in the 90's because it was too long and did horribly) and a few hundred other movies and works in development hell that are more often then not going to be bad.

The longer you wait with some things, like movies and games- the more and more likely it not going to be good. That's why T'was kind of was a surprise when Sly4 actually turned out to be good.

Part of this is the habit of Authors to just keep adding stuff, which can cause procrastination and WAY too much fluff (which is why mine and others fan stories tend to end up badly...) Another is the Executive meddling get worse the longer it in development. The last major reason I'm going to talk about is fan hype; as much as Hype help bring the medium attention, it also raises the expectations to go with it, that can get to the point of unmeetable. That last one is why the great Half Life 3 isn't likely to be released soon...People expect a inhuman amount of perfection, a bloody Jesus Christ kind of savior of video games brought by Gaben himself to bring about a golden age.
