It can also apply to any product that is rushed for release by a certain date, or in time for a certain event (such as the deadline for an award nomination or convention appearance). Whatever the case, the fact that the product was rushed often leads to a poorly made product. [[The Problem with Licensed Games]] and [[Porting Disaster]] usually occurs due to this, as the developers are rushed to have the game released at the same time as the licensed property's premiere/launch/kickoff.

** Even with the rush, it didn't reach Europe until February.

** And the worst part about this example is that LucasArts specifically told Obsidian they couldn't restore the cut content in a patch.

** ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'' was also rushed, causing the loss of five planned Zones (one, Genocide City, was turned into a third act for Metropolis Zone). Despite that, it wound up on the opposite end of the spectrum and is considered one of the best ''Sonic'' games produced.

** The same also goes for its sequel, ''Sonic 3'', where the developers were simply too ambitious for both their time limits and the limitations of the system they were making the game for, so the game had to be split into two, the first part being released on February 2, 1994, or ''"Hedgehog Day"'', and the second part, ''Sonic & Knuckles'', released eight months later, allowing players to combine the two parts to play the two back-to-back as ''[[Sonic 3 and Knuckles]]''.
