Understandable. Except that the launcher is up and working.
At the very least, update the launcher in ADDITION to your Twitter feeds, or whatever. Twitter should be an auxiliary means of communication. Not the first line of defense.
When I go to login and type in my password, I should not have to check your TWITTER feed FIRST to see if it's even possible.
If the launcher is up to date, it would save you guys a heck of a lot of negative energy.
Honestly, it's ridiculous. Own it.
Uh, the launcher IS updated.
