Let me understand this. Is Matrix Games saying that unless you buy the expansion there will be no further patching for DW.

I certain GJ that there will be a patch for vanilla DW provided when the crew returns from
their holiday break. Hang in there a bit longer!

If there is a new patch for "Vanilla" DW, will we have to apply that even if we have upgraded to RotS? Or will the upgrade switch us onto a new "track" of patching and updates?

My understanding is that the expansion patch should patch the problems vanilla
DW had since it's based on that Chet.

I can tell you that patches for the expansion will not work on the vanilla DW unless it is specifically stated to do so. When the expansion was released it had a build in patch for problems experienced for the vanilla DW .
For example . Fixed crash that occurred after adding new stars or systems in game editor .

We have in fact said that there will be at least one more update for the original pre-expansion DW. At some point though, further support will be based on the expansions.

Regards,
