You would think that companies would know to be upfront about stuff like this. Setting up a situation that basically lies to your consumer will only cause more headaches and fuel more piracy of the title in question. 
 
Shot themselves in the foot with a bazooka.

Though I will give you the point that I should have probably not linked it to the forums. I have been on this site for awhile checking out the content, but the posting aspects are still new to me.
 
May the newb to community flogging commence!

Don't mean it to be spam, to be honest. I'm an indie dev myself and felt that there maybe others here on this site. The linked site was not created by me, but as a fellow indie dev simply wanted to spread the word for them.

While going through my Twitter account I stumbled across a re-tweeted link that lists a bunch of references for aspiring indie developers. This includes links to development resources like engines, where to find assets or artists-for-hire, royalty free sound/music or places to find musicians/voice actors/etc., business related information, and much more.

A lot of the work is still in early form, and a lot of links are still being set, but it's still a great list of resources as-is. If you (and maybe some friends or low-cost robots) are planning on working on your own, be sure to give the list a look and bookmark to keep up with updates. It's bound to have something you need, and if not now, it will likely in the future.

I actually really like Mr. Iwata's comments on the DLC aspect of today's gaming. A lot of companies seem to have unlocks for content we technically already have. Others cost $15 for a few maps or some minor extra content that may not have taken too terribly long to make (though can be creative). I hope they are able to find a good, solid middle ground that third-parties, as well as Nintendo, can get behind.

It really varies for me. If by finished to completion you mean "finished the main game and saw the ending," I normally try really hard to do so before moving onto another game. Going for the 100% though I tend to not do often unless I really love the game. There's so many great games out and so little free time I tend to move on pretty quickly after finishing a game. I still have a pretty large backlog that I need to go through.
 
If only scientists could give me more hours in a day. Based on the many truths about the future from Futurama, it should be possible, right?
