Quoting from other thread
Snippets:
- Games was only 20% complete weeks before release
- Couldn't delay the game because of marketing and to get it out during French Open
- Refined version planned for 2019
- NEW game planned for 2020-2021
- Game will meet expectations and be profitable because 500k shipped to distributors of which some have no right to return them
- They want to increase their Meta score gradually and be in the 80s in the next few years
This seems really scummy, its was a full priced £49.99 game and is also still due out on Switch in a few weeks in who knows what condition
EDIT: It seems they've said this was a mis-translation and they meant the game was 20% feature complete, which is what I took it as anyway

Ok. This is nuts.
Weeks before release the game was just 20% done. This interview is something.
The launch was "chaotic". They couldn't delay it because of the marketing campaign and because they wanted to launch along the French Open tournament. But this quote is craaaaazy:
"on a mis 500 000 pièces sur le marché mais avec beaucoup de distributeurs qui n'ont pas de droit de retour, donc on sait qu'on sera bénéficiaire"
They shipped 500k units but due to many retailers not being allowed to ship them back it will be a financial success? What? Am I reading that correctly?
But here's the kicker:
"une "réédition peaufinée" verra le jour l'an prochain, sachant qu'un tout nouveau Tennis World Tour est d'ores et déjà envisagé pour 2020-2021"
So a "refined" edition will be released in 2019 and a COMPLETELY NEW TENNIS WORLD TOUR IS PLANNED FOR 2020-2021.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
