| walsufnir said: What is even more worrying is when you go physical but someone (who ever that might be) decides to not give any patches for your physical games anymore. This gen relies heavily on big patches, some day 1 which fixes stuff in broken games. So I guess in 10-20 years we won't be able to buy a PS4 or Xbone on ebay and play the games like today. Point is we as gamers today rely so heavily on "internet" to make the consoles with games work that it's really worrying. |
Compare to the good old days when a broken games was a broken game for ever. Even Nintendo seem to be relying on Day 1 patchs, the entire industry has shifted. But, on the flip side if a game can be fixed and improved why not fixes glitches and errors found after the release. Also, it's allowing developpers to make amazing stuff with DLC and add-on contents. When done right like the DLC and update to MArio Kart 8, it can change the game for better and give you all new experience with a game you love (200CC).
