My spoiled brat meter is tingling again, must be something about this thread.
So you are thinking that a working person should not be going on vacation, because your precious patch isn't done yet.
So what? Are devs only allowed to have vacation once their game is in pristine condition and fully done? What are they supposed to do? Cancel the vacation of their employees because something took longer than expected?
That might be doable for some indie devs, but this is a full-blown studio. In a country with quite a lot of vacation time, as most nordic countries have. And as most nordic countries, that vacation is usually in July or August. You can't just tell people to stay at work and cancel whatever they planned to do with their families
I wouldn't be surprised if Funcom Oslo team is working somewhat of a skeleton crew in July or August, that's pretty normal for IT companies (at least in Finland, so I guess it would be similar there).
Sorry, but the only in this case is you.
If at all, having vacation as normal - no matter the situation - is a commendable thing to do by Funcom, showing they value their employees at least somewhat.
Apparently the huge patch (fixing "over 500 issues", including some damn gamebreaking bugs) that was slated for this week will be deployed in September... Because they go on vacation.
