Re: Their fault not ours

when you're a software developer and you write patches you want to make sure everything is included so people dont have to constantly keep downloading patches. instead of hearing of a bug and waiting until you get your next release finished to fix/patch up the bug, you can easily program a fix and go ahead and send it out. Currently software (game) developers wont do that unless it is a MAJOR bug like buffer overflows when you pick up an entity, or something that causes you not to be able to play the game at all. With steam, you can easily patch a bug without the client ever needing to check your website for new patches weekly, OR without the clients constantly waiting and complaing for the next release to come out before they can have a minor, yet annoying patch fixed.
