    Or just release it as early access with a 5€ discount or something. That way people who don’t give a shit about the optimization can get it early while the rest gets the full release (Baldur’s Gate 3 was in Early Access for a long while for example)

    Although I think in this case it’s a bit more complicated. The marketing campaign was rather large so I think they thought they could deliver on time but ultimately were unable to do so. This is likely also why we are hearing only now about mods, they were still working on it with the hopes of making it in time and had to make a judgement call last minute - in this case to delay the modding tools until after release.
