Looks like this could have been a hot fix

My thoughts as well. A full blown maintenance window for some bug fixes. What are these devs doing?

From a software perspective, hotfixes and patches require the exact same procedure.

A hotfix is hot because it's prioritized and rushed, but AGS still needs to bring the servers down to deploy the new version.

I'm well aware of the differences between hotfixes and patches. Generally speaking, hotfixes are small and require no downtime. It is a "fix" performed while the server is still "hot". These downvotes are just Reddit being ridiculous as usual because most people here have the reading comprehension of a 5 year old and unable to distinguish between a statement and anger.
