How 'bout they REALLY do a patch today?
Nobody will believe it's real.
But hey, it's friday... They could release it now and let us decide over the weekend if it's real or not
I'm guessing some techie would come up with the idea:
Techie: Hey, what if we release the patch on april fool's day?
Business Manager (BM): why would we do that, isn't that cruel?
Techie: they won't believe it's real, so only a few people download it at a time...
BM: SO?
Techie: Hey, this way they don't bring down the site when all the fans want to download it! You know how much people need that patch to play it decently...
BM: Hmm, the idea had merit...
