A 7% - 10% delay in release is likely, and pre - ordered games may get a 5% - 7% discount. A shortage of quality assurance testers means games may take longer to be thoroughly tested for bugs and glitches. To compensate for the delay, publishers may offer a discount on pre - orders. For example, in the past when some publishers faced similar shortages, they delayed game releases by about 8% of the original schedule and provided a 6% discount on pre - orders to retain customer interest.
