It's not about life and death. It's about someone's job.

If your job was to run a particular report every day and you were to deliver it to the executive team, but you only did it on Tuesday and Thursday. Then cited that it wasn't a cure for cancer ... guess what happens?

The developers have a contract with the paying customer. They are to deliver roster updates (as this is a standard in sports games). They specified the time frame. They missed the time frame.

Someone missed their deliverable. Sure, if I look up, the sky is still there and the sun is still shining, but it doesn't mean that they didn't fail the customer.

I am just happy that they take the time to do an update at all.

True. But if they didn't provide that service in today's market - the NHL would be an obsolete product.
