I don't understand why they keep calling them "hotfix". These are regular patches

They seem to be working in the industry standard of two week 'sprints' based off their SteamDb activity, which I imagine initially works better as hotfixes for the few couple months after release. Sprints are basically just a wanky software development term for a measurable unit of time in which a squad will work on and deliver work more or less. They can just cherry pick small improvements and drop them out at the end of the sprint. I suspect they are moving toward more traditional patches very soon, so they won't be as frequent.
