Why are the patch notes so hard to find from the forums?

Anyone else feel the same or just me? No mention of PTB patchnotes or updates in the announcement section, despite having feedback and bug reports in the PTB section there is no link to the patchnotes themselves anywhere in the forums. If you go to the DBD forums there doesn't seem to be a good way to get to the patch notes article. Why isn't there a post for all updates here from a developer with a link? It seems strange that PTB information is not in the ingame news section or on the forums but is instead in the "articles" section that you have to search on reddit or twitter or google to find.

    Agree, especially as I've quit social media. I was watching Hens when the patch notes came out so saw them through his stream.

    Yeah I am not frequent on social media so I thought I'd ask in case I was the one out of touch. It feels very difficult to find update notes through official channels, I always end up learning about PTBs through a youtuber or a post someone sends to me from instagram or reddit…

    They can be found in the so-called “Information Center” of the forums, but it’s pretty difficult to tell something new has been posted without checking social media regularly.

    I was just scrolling through my Bluesky Bird Feed and stumbled on the announcement by chance, thanks to a fan account.

    I know it’s redundant but I kind of wished that they were pinned at the top of General Discussions.
