I believe him it was a lot more complex than just investors pushing him to get it out quickly. I don’t believe the team was part of that push. Either he doesn’t understand the developers or he is lying but I have a suspicion it’s gotta be at most a few team members who were burnt out and not a consensus. I cannot imagine the consensus was to crunch in order to get the game out faster - no way.
