EA pledges to "weeks" of bug and performance fixes for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Keep in mind that Jedi: Survivor reviewers played through Jedi: Survivor without the promise day-one patch. It's possible EA can fix most of the major issues of Jedi: Survivor by the time it's out. If true, most gamers should encounter few problems at launch. However, it's still concerning that EA bothered giving reviewers "bugged" pre-release copies. EA probably didn't buy Respawn enough time to iron out the kinks, which doesn't paint a pretty picture for both parties.

While EA didn't directly respond to critics who blew the whistle on the suboptimal pre-release version of Jedi: Survivor, it's hard not to see the recent promise for post-launch fixes other than EA's effort to squash problems before they get out of hand.

But, hey, at least EA no longer has to worry about finding a way to Jedi Mindtrick audiences who unfortunately caught wind of the early leaks, right?
