"Apparently they do this because they do their own QA/testing." They do supposedly do their own TRC/QA pass on all patches, but the system is highly flawed. As Exhibit A I present Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Quite an enjoyable multiplayer game, IMO, but despite already having a handful of updates in the half-a-year or so since release, the online is still terribly buggy. I've never seen an Xbox game with such poor networking and matchmaking (unlike every other 360 game I've played with friends, the party is always being split into different lobbies, lobbies get into weird states where you're supposedly able to join them but you can't until the party leader leaves and recreates them, etc, etc, total amateur hour shit). From a QA perspective that game is an absolute mess, so either Microsoft's QA is worthless shit or they are willing to look the other way for games with high enough profile.
