Production issues in car manufacturing can be solved by adding more resources just like adding more programmers to a software project can. Nope, not at all.

What I'm saying isn't that the production issues get solved. What I'm saying is that if you have enough money, delays aren't as much of an issue in itself. You can wait things out.

Valve surely has a lot of developement issues leading to delays, but they still got Half Life 2 out and made a bunch of money off of it.

No, you did say that money solves production issues.

to clarify, what I meant by "issue" is production delays. There are underlying issues for sure, and those won't be solved just with money.

But many side effects of delays are mitigated by throwing money at it. And spending money is usually an easy option, if you have a lot of it.

It's getting less and less clear.
