They had already made their case to Activision without success that "all kings die at 56 years of age" should be fixed. Volunteering to do it got the v2.01 patch made. If they hadn't volunteered there would have been no v2.01 patch.

Those aren't code changes, and can't correct the underlying problems. For example, look at the impossible situation faced by the person trying to balance RTW tactical battles with the shield bug and reversed charge bug present. The underlying algorithms have to be correct or else people like Lusted are defeated before they start.
