I'm pretty forgiving on most of these since I work in software development but I'm a stickler for notifying users appropriately and I give them an F here. They need to do better on this.
I work in software development, too, so I'll bite: What's the point in insisting on synchronized announcements here? No one's put at any sort of real advantage or disadvantage based on hearing the news a couple hours sooner or later (we're past the world-first clears). There's nothing for the players to do but wait for the fix to rollout. If it weren't for the modern Internet reducing everyone's patience to zero, we wouldn't even be talking about this.

Give them a knock for not acknowledging the bug earlier than they did. :P
