maybe for Nintendo since they haven't heard of the Internet yet

The problem with the "we'll just fix it with patches" mindset is it's incredibly short sighted. What happens if someone buys a used copy of [insert name of game with huge day 1 patch] 25 years from now? Will these companies be hosting those patches on their servers still? Maybe, but I doubt it.


That still hurts the reputation of a game for being high-quality; we've had tons of games in the past couple of years that needed to be patched in order to be somewhat playable.

I'd rather wait so the game I finally get to play feels complete. Playing something that's buggy or unpolished can sully the experience of a good game.
