I don't think patching is a bad thing since todays games are much more complicated than the games of the SNES days and even those games had their fair share of errors.

I think the difference is in the attitude of the developers. With previous consoles, lack of patching necessitated rigorous quality control. With patches, quality is less important when you know you can just patch the software a few weeks/months down the road. It makes the developer lazy and can lead to premature releases.

It's been a pretty common complaint of PC gamers for a while now. Those who buy the game on release complain about paying money to be a beta tester.


Um, developers never think meh who cares if it's slightly broken, we'll make a patch later,


 Ever heard of Gothic 3 ???
