If it's about previous discussions possibly leading to betterment of the game in the form of a patch, then those discussions have not been irrelevant, though if it'll be the case they will be at least useless in the general sense ('cause certain things would've been fixed: an effective conclusion reached, so the previous discussions can be discarded).

If it's about guides and such, tactics, etc., strategy, gameplay, rewriting or rediscussing might be necessary. Personally I'd just play the game, try out the patch, and see what'll happen.
