(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Something people don't really think about when saying "just release an update and fix it" well it is genera that simple but to release an update they have to pay $40,000 for it to go on XBOX Live, and (unknown) amount for PSN.

So basicly when you have to wait for a patch blame MS and maybe SONY (depending if the charge or not, no one knows) because they charge to release the updates this is the same thing that prevents indie games from being patched and fixed cause they carn't afford it.

Hotfixes bypass the charges as they are applied server side and not sent to the store.
So the last patch they had to pay a fee that said is a certain amount they can release on XBL before they are charged.
PSN charges only apply for stuff downloaded off the store it why a number of games you download it off publisher servers.
PSN charges per Gb downloaded something like $0.1 (I can't remember)
It part of the reason why BF3 updates with the DLC are put together on PS3.

tahnks for the info i didnt know about SONY's policies

Activision makes millions, they own the biggest and most popular gaming franchise. Money isn't an issue for them $40,000 is like $40 for them because they have a high budget and they make an high amount because of people like us.

knew about that from day, it has to be tested to make sure it doesnt breach the consoles security or break the system
