Do you think the Xbox 360 Edition will ever get snapshots similar to those of the PC version? I'm not sure if it will, but I think our full version updates would be much more stable since the snapshots essentially open a pre-release version of the update made for bug testing. With thousands of players playing the game in different ways, the players are sure to catch bugs that are missed while 4J tests it. By the time the full update comes out, it will have much less bugs than if there isn't a snapshot for the players to test.
It's possible that if the amount of bugs are significantly reduced maybe 4J can spend less time on the bug fixes that come out after an update and spend more time on future updates, DLC, and more!
What does everyone else think? I would like the idea of us players being able to help 4J help us.
No, they only have a certain ammount of content they are allowed to release for free. Besides, game developers don't want to add dlc that is probably much buggier than the final product.
It won't happen. People would complain too much about the amount of bugs, even if they should know there are going to be bugs. Not to mention, 4J would have to start paying Microsoft to put out the updates eventually, and that is not cheap, especially if they were to release a snapshot every week. On top of that, every update would have to go through Microsoft certification, and that can take up to 10 (working) days, which would make the release dates sporadic and just not really worth it.
Add to that the fact that MS limits how many updates they are allowed to present to a wide public audience and it would really choke out our updates on the whole. Its not really feasible for this platform.
