This is the same discussion that goes on with every game these days (and that went on with MTW and RTW).

- Where's the patch
- It'll be here when it's here
- This game sucks without a patch!
- Why you'd buy it, foo
- I'm never buying another CA game until the next one!
- CA Developers exist to spite me personally

...and so on.

Not relevant and not productive (which this post is just as guilty of for commenting on it). Can we move on?
