For financial reasons the game never got a new patch to remedy the contentious issues, and Fez director, Phil Fish justified that the money that MS asks for subsequent patching is simply too great. Microsoft sought  $40,000 from Polytron for re-certification of patches, which was despite $1.1 million earned from sales simply too much.

MS has recently rejected the practice of charging certification patch so Polytron intends to reimburse players for the problems that the first patch caused. Well, better late than never.
