By the way, ALL software projects are done by iterative prototyping.
Some companies call their prototypes "releases", that's all.

Hey, you think we have it bad with patches? Universe at War has been waiting for mod/map tools since its release in December '07. And only 3 patches have been released to address game problems, one of them on the first day, so it doesn't really count. How's THAT for slow patches?
"It should be a fairly quick turnaround and we're aiming to have v1.1 final out this month."
From the Beta 3 post. Personally, I'm getting really tired of all these 1.1 betas. They've all been pretty stable, it would've been nice for the online community to not have the beta process going on for so long, and have so many splits.
Well it looks as if they're wanting to release the patch along with Impulse's MP matchmaking capability so Sins can start taking advantage of it, so I imagine that's one of the main reasons for the release delay.
Always multiply the time estimate by two and convert to the next highest units.
(1day -> 2weeks)
(2weeks -> 4months)
