it would not be as difficult as you make it seem RAIST, its a matter of how lazy the programmers are or are not, after all, it would not take even that much for SE to make a entry so that the update files would go into a directory in your "My Documents" directory and the game would search there and update from there, that would only take a small POL update to make that work
Easy for windows yes, but the consoles are a different animal. That is the problem. Hell, I used to embed a simple .BAT file in a standard .zip that would stop webservices, update all the apps, purge the cache, and reload tomcat....made it a standalone .exe with Winzip and pushed it out to our sales team to update the demos. Would take me all of 15 minutes to push out a new series of Java Demos to the whole division that way.

But, they have this thing about keeping certain components consistent across all supported platforms....would expect this would surely be one of them they would insist on because of their limited support options.
