In a way, this is both off-topic and exactly on-topic for an MLB The Show forum. I just read a Polygon article by a dev that explains their perspective on day 1 patches and quality assurance. It's a perspective that I've never heard so completely laid out and explained.
If more developers were so forthcoming on the ins and outs of what goes on behind the scenes of game development, they'd have a more informed and understanding customer base.
I'm sure some of you who read the article are totally well-versed on what's covered, and will view it as a Game Dev. 101, but I think many of you will be enlightened by it. I was.
