Patch news

[whatnot]

Excellent news just before the release, one after another!

Few things I wonder though and maybe there are perfectly good explanations for thme:

1) Why do we have to learn so much through rumours, some random russion forum links instead of having a 'Developer news' or whatever locked sticky here or some other 'official place' they decide?

2) Did they not notice the stutters approaching the bombers in their testing sessions? If they did why wasn't there release notes that would have listed 'known issues' and a reassuring comment that they will be addressed soon?

I'm not trying break the euphoria here as we have finally have a good vibe going amongst the forums (haven't dared to read SimHQ however). But I've never seen such panic and so many slit wrists in a community than what I saw after the russian release. With active communication I guess that could have been mitigated to some extent atleast.
