Why is the patch taking so long?

Here is a positive spin on this.

Perhaps they are seeing that despite the DRM, people are still loyal to the genre as well as the company. We all could have done fine with GWX for Sh3, aside from the dated graphics Sh3 with GWX is tops....still on my rig.

That being said, they want to be sure that this patch addresses the failed features of the release. I do not think this is the last patch.

Quit being so God darned negative.

They may have realized that the game is badly flawed, and now they are fighting those flaws. This is a good thing, even if it takes a few more months.

I think there is someone at UBI that has unrealistic views on the amount of time something takes to work on. I had someone like that at my aircraft shop. I would add a factor of 4 to any estimate, and I always came under. When this jagoff came into the picture he thought under quoting was smart. It wasn't. We lost customers...mostly the ones we gained when I was running things. People are HAPPY when the quote is HIGHER than the actual cost. DUH!!

Well people are happy when the time for a patch is shorter than the quote.

Or am I just nuts?
