Not flaming Ca

[jsberry]

There have been four patches released already - more than we ever got in total for M2TW.

But none of these four patches appear to be significant. Nothing fixes the real problems: (1) AI cannot transport troops; (2) AI stupid diplomacy; (3) CTD when switching from campaign to battle map.

Uh... So? These are not trivial problems - is steam supposed to help with fixing these bugs?

The entire point is, with steam, once a given issue is fixed, we will get the fix sooner, rather than having to wait months and months for ALL (or actually just most) of the bugs to be rolled up into one big super patch which is all that the budget will allow for (due to the long and expensive patch QA and release cycle we used to have). And once these big bugs are fixed there is more chance that support will continue, and we might continue to get smaller fixes and AI tweaks for much longer, because it's not a long and expensive chore to release a patch.
