Yeah, you are right, I never took into consideration the patching method used on the other games made by BI, but I strongly believe that in the case of a beta testing (which the fixes should come out biweekly), a more "automated" way of updating would be appropriate or at least a newest version check should be implemented (so the betatesters won't consume time on reporting solved bugs if they haven't been notified of a newest build). Whatever the way they use though, I will keep providing feedback for this jewel, I have played about 10 hours (with all the known bugs included) and I find it AWESOME!!! Can't wait to see the finished and polished version :)
