What has CDV got that the gung-ho geeks on this forum don't? I bet there are several folks that have had experience testing beta patches for game companies (me, for example) that would be happy to test the patch privately. I bet we could do it faster, too. A lot of game companies I have seen utilize their gamers as beta-testers, so it is not an unusual practice.
Agreed.
I have beta tested games and add-ons and patches. Gamer testing can be a valuable tool. Especially in light of CDV's extremely slow response to this patch.
However, I wonder if it's possible that there may be contractual obligations between Larian Studios and CDV that requires any patches and/or add-ons, to go through CDV before Larian Studios can release it to the public? I certainly hope not, but it is a possiblity. Perhaps Lynn or someone else in the know could shed some light on this?
