Wow ^ definition of ignorance right there, considering adding together what the competition has done in 4 years time with patches, still isnt as emmaculate as this one update.

Wow if ignorance is bliss you must be one happy guy.

He's kinda right though, which I presume why you guys decided to insult him rather than prove him wrong. This patch will probably only benefit hundreds of people at this point.

Have any data to back those claims up? Or are you just posting more negative garbage bc you havent picked up the game in months and really have nothing new to say?

It would if they re release a demo post patch so people can try it out. Wouldnt that be the smart thing to do? I expect them to be smart enough to do it.

Yes it would, and after reading the patch notes, it would definitely be a really good idea (it's like they re-developed the game)

But, again, that has nothing to do with what EA has or hasn't done, and I wonder how much it will accomplish. Those who are still watching BB development could be pulled in if they are still researching it, etc - but those who've walked away after the first version (either playing it or reading reviews or playing the first demo) - will they even know of the patch's existence (or care?)

So the question is - how much of those who didn't like the first version (and didn't buy it, as those would be new sales) are still looking at the game and will the patch convince them to pick it up?
How many new sales could it expect to generate?
