I agree with econ21 - a patch for Kingdoms is very well needed and yet - leaving M2 as is and not updated with the expansion is what's really dissapointing.

Heh - in the past as it has been mentioned the publisher or lack of resources have been blamed for the lack of patches - yet now, persuasion with multipage threads is "required" in order for CA to even start considering a patch for basic issues - not to make gameplay/playbalance improvements (heaven forbids!) - but just to make the game working as intended - despite the fact that the series now sells quite well - or is it exactly because of that?

In all probability it seems that numbers actually do matter here since its advised that multipage threads are the best bet, so correctness and importance of argument regarding bugs are not really the issue but rather how many people are actually bothered (have noticed the bugs? ) about having a game that works properly.

Those that come back from the past to shower with irony whoever "still hangs on" - seem to have a point - CA doesn't really need anymore a dedicated fanbase it seems, they just probably decided to "live with it it"

The ghost majority the games are aimed for now, fills the numbers apparently anyway.

Whatever they do in terms of support nowdays no matter how low compared with what they did in the past or what they "should" be doing, feels like a move of "bona fede" i guess, just so there isn't enough noise to really affect sales and perhaps even a bit for "old time's sake"

Sometimes i seriously wish that i'd have never bought STW.
