Hey, check out this PM I got (@cfc) from Atari:

Hi there,
Saw your post about your message to Firaxis. Thought I'd jump in and let you know that Firaxis only creates the English version of the patch, then we at Atari contract out to have it ported/translated (as necessary) and then tested across all of the other versions of the software. Firaxis usually posts the English version immediately, but because of various scheduling issues which I won't bore you with, it sometimes ends up that the international versions being waaaaay behind.
No longer. In fact, I think the next patch has been done for a while, but because of the global nature of Play the World, we're holding it back until QA's tested it across all versions, after which the next patch will be released worldwide.
Thought you'd like to know the scoop, and know that we do what we can to listen and act upon our community's requests... :-)
Best regards,
Jeff Foley
Sr. Brand Manager
Atari
Now, it's a bit naughty of me to post a PM vertabim like this but I thought fuck it - why not. Just don't go printing it up anywhere else please! I can justify it I reckon (ie. he's kinda using me to make this statement known rather than make it public himself and have to defend the why's and wherefore's of the missing 1.21 europatch) but I cant be arsed ;)
