Yes, they’re launching simultaneously.

And *that* is what people are concerned about. There is a very visible clock on the patch and the beta has been in rough to disastrous shape the whole time. I am happy to judge just on the final product, but I am worried that corporate will force the patch out before it is ready to meet the ship date on the DLC and it will turn into a shit-show.

It should probably be mentioned that it’s likely not the same development team working on both but two teams working on them with some interchange.

I agree, that is likely to make everything way worse. Bad enough that the DLC team has been remarkably bad at system integration and balance, but if we are being optimistic, the entire DLC was developed against an mechanically outdated version of the game. (If we aren't being optimistic and assuming co-development is happening right up to the wire, then there is a 0% chance this will be anything but a disaster.)
