Is there any reason to believe that there ever will be another patch?

I have seen no official word from Larian. Was there something?

With quite a few other games it's been common for the supply of patches to dry up because the publisher/ distributor or whoever it is who puts up the money to back the developer simply thinks it's not worth their while to pay for more work on the project.

In other words they think that the cost of more improvements won't be repaid by more sales.

Quite possibly, the 'next patch' for many games lies partly done and abandoned on the 'back burner' simply because the money is never supplied to finish it.

Is the structure or situation different at Larian? I have not read enough about them, their patch promises, or their cash supply deals with publishers to know how it works for them. Anybody have any real knowledge of what their position is?
