Versioning

I was wondering why my game that I play is always having to shut down and release a new "patch" and why some of the time the new patch didn't seem to work as well as a past one for a day. What I found out is that League of Legends is just like most other game that have users playing against each other via the internet, to keep their users interested they have to continually be making changed to their game and technically making a new edge to the game all of the time. This I learned from our class website has an actual name versioning.

Why is releasing software often even when there could potentially be problems the best idea for companies? The reason is that as companies release their software and get it out for users to see the "bugs" or problems will be found out that much faster when there are thousands of people using the software rather then just your few test junkies that are working for the company.

This seems to be the opinion of every company today. They release often and are always looking for feedback.  It can be hard to tell if companies are actually looking at the feedback that they are sent but just think about it if, as per say, you were a software company and were receiving tons of feedback on your product from people that were actually using it wouldn't that just make you super excited because you would know that your idea was actually having the chance to take off.
