I know it's an argument in semantics, but this isn't really a staggered release. The patch is done and has been released. Problem is that Markus apparently isn't able to make the App patch available directly. It has to go to Apple for them to post. As I say, I'm guessing this is a contractual obligation, as there's no other reason I can think of not to post the patch here for App'ers.
I believe the shoe actually was on the other foot a couple of years ago. Well, not MY foot exactly!
OOTP9 was available on Steam and the same situation existed. If I recall correctly, those who had purchased the Steam version had to wait for Steam to post the update. As stated previously, buying the game directly from Markus is the preferred way to go. I will say that OOTP has always done a good job of providing support to people who've purchased the game through these 3rd parties. I imagine some companies would tell folks to take their problems to Apple or Steam, but I haven't seen anything like that here. It's unfortunate that there seems to be an unavoidable delay in getting all versions patched, but that seems to be out of Markus's control.

I believe there was a thread a short time ago where it was pointed out that it was possible to have more than one version of OOTP installed at a time. If so, perhaps something like that would help folks in more than one league (i.e. one install patched and one not). Sorry, don't have a link to the thread. Maybe someone can point the way.
