I think this is as good time as any to just clarify that we don't plan to report in a more detailed fashion than we do today, what stage different patches, updates etc are in. In fact, I think we are pretty transparent and communicative about these things already in comparison to a lot of other devs/game companies. I appreciate you are passionate about specific games, but looking at it from our end of the spectrum we have a back catalogue of more than 150 games, work with more than 30 distribution platforms (excl. retail) and more than 20 dev teams at any given time. To go into day to day details and progress of every single project doesn't make sense, and is not something we plan to do. It's ok if you don't agree with our stance, but I thought I should clarify so that you know what to expect from us down the line.
Kind regards

Again I feel I have to clarify. You(paradox) as a publisher spent two weeks silent on whether a patch had even been looked at since the devs gave it to you. I can understand leaving day to day updates at bay and even after a week of nothing maybe, but you didnt tell us(the fans) or IRSHAPPA ID(the devs) anything after 2 weeks till we started nagging. Also its no excuse to say you have too many games in your back catalogue, if theres not enough staff being employed to handle your products employ more to handle the workload, thats how business works. And you only have 15 games atm that are "current" for which iron cross is one of them, and as such should receive more of your time as a publisher then the other 135 games.
With other paradox titles you have shown great speed in the time taken between when devs hand over a patch and when the publishing team either give it all clear or they dont. It seems this time nobody bothered to even look at this patch at all for two weeks(and im pretty sure of this since Johan said it failed at the first hurdle, it which case why did it take two weeks to get to the first hurdle?). Just to pick up again on what you said, we dont ask for day to day updates, especially from you as a publisher as the devs tell us what we need to know on the forums too pretty much daily, BUT you didnt even tell the devs ANYTHING for two weeks. So thats why all of us fans have been on here asking you guys questions cause you dont seem to check your emails much. So enough excuses just keep up the good service we have learned to expect from you guys.
