No comparability between versions at release would be awful. Not everyone has time or is willing to replay long periods of gameplay because the studio released a new patch, especially not when Steam tend to keep games up to date no matter what.

Now as I said we are patient and willing to wait however the updates of late seems to hint that we are getting closer to release and as such I was simply curious if there been word about when the final builds might come so there is no need to be all preachy about it.
