Today's Critical Thought is on the topic of video game launches and knowing when to release your game. I talked about why 1.0 is a big deal for any game. I also started discussing what it means to know when your game is done and how feature creep can be a danger. I'll be focusing on feature creep in an upcoming piece.

For my discussion on game length, you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acmaLbfloSE&t=25s&list=PLfe4d3tg_8EQE5oy8_9UrS2mlSdeAVhMP&index=5
