Honestly they can say that but it's nothing more than a crutch. The<BR>
same company made both games, Dice. One game had serious game-changing<BR>
bug(s) introduced in its last patch (the wrench), and therefore needs<BR>
another patch to be fixed. It would take all of 20 minutes to fix that<BR>
bug and release a patch for it.<BR>
