That they screwed up in the first place.

Same, but not the issue.

Sadly, sooner or later, most stand alone games will disappear because of the way the world is going, good or bad. I played the awful Sim City game that EA put out. It was all about being connected at all times and not able to play the game offline, among one of the problems. It took them months to work out the issues.

This could EASILY be it's own thread, article and blog post.

So you did not get a flawed patch, you should be thankful! There are very few developers that care like this team. I have been playing games for a long time, I have shelled out $50 for junk a number of times and before the internet when the game was final and not patched.
And in the end, it is just a game, it can be replaced!

Here is the crux of the matter. We SHOULD have gotten the patch.
For what I use it for, and at least 25% of my league it wasn't flawed, nor would it have been for any other gamer who uses it in a league.
But are they listening? There's another bug in the game that I found, sent it to someone on the beta team and I got back a message that it was cost prohibitive to fix. Too prohibitive for a patch or for future versions? I dunno, it wasn't told to me. But it does effect the best part of this game, IMO, the financials pages and contracts.
But let us get back to the main issue here. Why do we wait? NO ONE has been able to answer that not even the shills who have achieved "ALL STAR" posters status and say I need to grow up because I bitch about an injustice. Maybe RchW you need to get out a bit more than posting 11,000+ messages. Damn pal, you need a life.
And BarkingTurtle, missing 5 days of a video game isn't the issue. Not being treated as a valued customer is. Maybe you should learn the difference. If they were SO WORRIED about an imperfect patch, it should have been tested and run thru the gamut before being released at all. And we should say Thank You for that, and then them programming through the weekend to make, what they screwed up right? You've obviously had too much of the kool aid.
Bottom line, 16.7.36 was released to the direct buyers, it should have also been SIMULTANEOUSLY released to the STEAM purchasers.
