    FOSS developers have no cost reporting, no meetings with C level and stakeholders, no shareholders, no release plans, no schedules. What they have is passion.

    They just created what they want to create, they have a deep personal agenda to make something they want to use for themselves and that has to have therefore the polish and quality they want to have it to have.

    The corporate developers wanted to make a good product too I am very sure, but if the higher ups say that it has to be released by a fixed date then there is not much that the developers can do about it.

    So yes, the company has no real excuses, besides money.

      Many situations proved to us that passion make better things, sadly today’s AAA game developpers dosn’t have any passion anymore, mostly because of pression made by boss who are only driven by money.
