At this point they should hire you to post the patch notes on reddit.
The last post's comments was full of people showing their dislike about early access patch notes and cj even responded to some of them, there is 0 chance they weren't aware of the feedback or that the community didn't liked it. And they just ignore all of that and do it again ?
No announcement nor info about it on the official channels. They didn't even announced the update was coming tomorrow, didn't even revealed the name of the update. I just click on twitch i see streamers streaming an update called "tempest", i check youtube and there is a 20 minute reaction video. You love to see it.
Pulling stuff like this, putting the community second and streamers first and then asking for a labor of love award for a game thats still in early access. Good moves Kinetic games.
