the developers are releaseing the game soon, you would think they wouldn't need this many patches 5ish days before launch
True, but hopefully this all means they'll be able to put a Day 1-ish patch to the release client to fix a lot of these issues so they don't plague the version we actually payed for.
I do hope it slows down/stops now, so Cal and the team can get a trainer up for this latest version and have it actually stick around for a bit. I know it's probably a pain in the arse keeping this bugger up to date.
