KOTOR 2 Gets Patched, Ten Years Later

[Expletive Deleted]

Via Ars Technica:

Even after the mod's launch and continued development, neither the game's publisher Bioware nor the game's original developer Obsidian bothered officially patching the PC version since April 2005—until Tuesday, that is. With no official Web or social media announcement, KOTOR II received its first official patch in over 10 years exclusively on Steam, and the update is crazy huge.

I realize it's probably just because they're going to be releasing iOS and Android ports, as with KOTOR a year or so ago, but still. This is pretty great.

Exclusively on Steam. Ain't monopolies grand?

As I recall either Obsidian or Bioware(I think Obsidian), wanted to patch it but Lucasarts for some reason refused to let them. Maybe this is just because of new management.
