Obviously his point is that it's ridiculous that a patch would take this long. Ian said that he expected the patch to drop around mid November. December is about a week away and WE DO NOT EVEN HAVE DETAILS ON WHAT EXACTLY IS IN THE PATCH. Now I know, that devs had some problems along the way which held up the patch but this just exemplifies that the core foundation to this game is like a house of cards. This is probably why they can't get much done through the development cycle, any little changes changes other parts of the game which creates other problems. You change one thing it creates another problem, you fix that problems, it creates a new problem, it's like your chasing your tail.
