Oh their priorities were clear from the start:
1.) Announce new expansion/booster pack to create spin and hype.
2.) Develop expansion/booster pack.
3.) Develop code to support said expansion/booster pack and incorporate into the next patch iteration.
4.) Make token changes to outstanding bugs and other gameplay/balance issues to give the impression that we care.
5.) Release expansion/booster pack to retail in time with the support patch and hope things don't get broken
6.) Fix the broken stuff so the booster/expansion pack will work. Screw the rest.
7.) Repeat from #1 until there are no more fools left to sucker and let the franchise slide. Ignore complaints about outstanding bugs and other gameplay/balance issues and hope people just forget about it all and purchase our latest spinware.
