Heh, I live in Italy and I'm used to have a photo ID card and a photo driver license, but having a RFID card that can be remoltely read every time I enter a shop or cross a gate at the airport is an entirely different thing...
I'm not an insider (just a gamer), and i've never heard of these practices about other games producers.
But there are plenty of examples of games that were not on the expected schedule and that were wildly successful, take doom3, HL2, just to name the last ones.
"it's done when it's done" is a good practice, and implies that the developer in focused on a quality product, not on milking some money form the gamers.
Hell, it'a game, I don't have to play it on a schedule, but if I'm paying it 60 I want it to be the best it can be.
Never heard of JohnC being on a crunch, he even partecipated in priceX:)
