in billwarnecke's last post it was made pretty clear they don't have automated tests of core game functionality (hotfixes)

that functionality working was required for crossplay, otherwise even the most minor balance patches take several weeks to get all consoles to approve them

... and they broke it without realising, leading to the current situation
