With this type of game, you can "go gold," print CD's, etc. and yet continue to work on the game and have a game-day patch.[right][snapback]59333[/snapback][/right]None of what either of you said changed the truth of what I said. I repeat - People are certainly going to be buying a beta and should expect to heavily patch for a while. Granted, given the structure of this system, it is hard to draw a line at which point the game can no longer be called beta. Also, if you truly believe that the client is done, and will never require a patch, you have been living in a different gaming world than I.
