If they don't... the game is probably doomed

(note: I really don't want the game to fail!)
The deadlines for patches for a game are never set in stone because it doesnt matter as much as making software for a company if its delayed. yes working for a software dev firm delayed work will cost contracts, but delaying patches for a game will not.
