What I don't get is digital downloadable games with day 1 patches or any patches right after you download it. Why not update them on the server. Here download and install the obsolete version first, then when you think you are ready to play, download another 3 mandatory patches, wtf. It also makes me more reluctant to replay older games. PS2, GC games, just put them in and play. HD console games need to be installed and patched. There's no quick showing a few older games to a friend anymore. |
Yeah, the article addresses this. Collecting modern games might be pointless as some would just be unplayable in ten years time without the necessary patches. Idk I feel like the industry could benefit if we excluded the ability to patch. Then we can rightfully mock the games for being incomplete and broken on release day and developers will be pressured to make their games better.
