And not always in a good way. That said, there have been some amazing achievements seen across the games industry - and often close to home - despite the perpetually moving goal posts.

Some of you will know there was an issue with save games on our April 5th launch, but we worked hard to resolve the problem and by April 9th it had been fixed. The following we |
