The roster team does an absolutely fantastic job. The fact that they come to us and basically say, "hey, guys, we want to do a semi-official post-deadline roster update. Is that okay?" just shows the dedication and commitment to their tasks.

Apologies about the mis-communication about the roster update. Like any company does on occasion, we mistakenly assumed a different timeline than the roster team was on when Markus mentioned when the update would be available. And while we'd certainly love it if they had finished the update by this week, we know it's not a required update, and it will arrive when they feel it's ready.

We'd love to be able to hire the whole roster team on full-time, and hopefully someday we'll be able to make that happen. If we did, then yeah, we could certainly push to have updates ready sooner. But in our current capacities, the roster team has always provided the required roster updates not simply on-time, but generally speaking well before we're even ready to import them into the game. I've only been here for a few years, but I can't think of one time when we've gone to the roster team with a deadline and they haven't been able to meet it.
