And why people always assume, that CA is capable relasing and developing patch on its own funding.
It's not a big company such as Blizzard or Bioware.
EDIT:
Ok, there is a MTW: VI patch, which was not funded by publisher. Raises the question, what is now different compared to then...
Wild speculation:
Maybe they know that MTW: VI situation will repreat itself (with RTW: BI), and that they just don't have resrouces to make developer patch twice (for both orginal and expansion).
