Interesting question. A lot longer than most think. For example Stellaris isn't finished yet despite being "released" in 2016. Minecraft isn't finished yet either and it is even older.

Stellaris was at a point that me and many others felt like they were buying a product worth the money when it was released. In Stellaris’s case, I knew the game would be a bit rough and refined in DLC, but they’ve continued to refine it via more content than I expected and after I played my fill (which was in the triple digit hours). Long gone are the days of well we have to ship it so it’s done because we can’t update all these cartridges — for better or worse. Lots of games ship as buggy messes now that need some extra time, but studios / publishers didn’t want to miss the holiday window.
