Just because what we've seen appears to be done or mostly done, does not mean the devs have finished adding/changing everything in their list of things to do for the 1.7 update.

So Michaelangelo shows his unfinished masterpiece to a friend of his.

"Wow Mike that's awesome. Is that a painting of someone I know?"

"Yeah, Lisa, from accounting".

"Dude it's fucken' amazing, why don't you sell it?"

"It's not done yet".

"Huh? It looks incredible, what needs to be finished?"

"... her nose, mb".
Okay I got the models but now I'm too dumb to do anything with 'em

I know exactly how he felt.

A piece never really has to be done. Sometimes it's not quite clear when it's time to stop messing with it.

On the other hand, just because someone has played a handful of (or more) games and doesn't notice any problems or bugs doesn't mean there aren't significant ones still there that need to be fixed before release.

For the mona lisa example it would be more like the friend only seeing the canvas from 100 yards away - looks great, but he's not looking close enough to see that the painting is still missing a lot of details.

This was great, except you made a massive fool of yourself. Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa.

Incredible analogy though.

Or maybe he was talking about a completely different painting actually by Michaelangelo.

I mean it's not impossible that both Leo and Michael both worked in firms that employed a woman named "Lisa" in the accounting department.

Or maybe they worked in the same firm and Leo stole Michael's idea. I heard that leo regularly stole the ideas for his inventions from some inventor named Rimbaldi, so it's not too improbably that he stole paintings or ideas for paintings too.

I saw part of a film once called Moaning Lisa.

I think it was at a bachelor party -- I really can't remember...

I just wanted to be able to say "Mike". It sounds better than Leo... call it my Randall-Wallace-Fucks-History moment of the day, ha-ha.
