I think it's far more likely that since 1.17 will be two patches, and this is the smaller of the two, that if companies were coming in this patch (and I'm not sure they are yet) it would be in 1.17b. I don't think that 1.17a is going to be considered patch 1.17 by itself. I wouldn't expect more info on companies until 1.17b. I don't know how any of you can let yourselves get excited expecting MORE than advertised by the dev team. I love the changes they're making, and I'm not complaining at all, but let's not forget who we're dealing with here.
