It hink it really depends on product. Even within the world of software, as always - it depends.
Example: Blizzard Entertainment. They are well known for releasing "When it's Done." or fixing things "Soon". It would be hard to argue taht the strategy hasn't paid off for them. I'm not sure if a large MMO or RTS is really the kind of software that can best benefit from having a minimal feature set.
I think it's important to know your audience when writing something,and this article seems somewhat out of context without knowing who the intended audience was.
- req2 17y ago"When it's done" doesn't tell the whole story for Blizzard. They continue to patch and support Starcraft, and they are currently working on a sizable content patch for Diablo II. WoW has been constantly receiving additional content and balance updates. Blizzard goes a little bit beyond all that, a remarkable trait in such a 'now' focused games industry.
