What you've said is right, I looked into it and saw the need to believe what you've said so far man. I think though, Santa Monica studio is right too on their delay with God of war Ragnarok release, it is better for them to be confident of what they're releasing than going on to release crap.
I saw exactly what happened with Cyberpunk 2077, we know that 'CD Projekt RED didn't do something expected during the initial release, it was a crap indeed, it took enough time and resources for the company to get the game back in order.
