Alright, they ran into issues trying to get it out today, fair enough - But why not just talk to us man
This constant song and dance of "This is the plan, oh no we failed to deliver, ah well we're not gonna say anything about it until criticism becomes too loud at which point the publisher will put out a statement on our behalf that we will contradict in the future anyhow" is just unbelievably tiring.
You have this forum, you have a Twitter account, just bloody put out a 3 sentence statement saying "We ran into issue X and will have to postpone the patch, we are looking for Y/Y as the next targeted release date/we can't update the release window at this point". It would take a community manager all of 10 minutes to do. It is not that hard, folks.
