Should devs make changes post release in single player games? (Poll)

It should only happen if somehow a massive game-breaking bug is wreaking havoc. Otherwise, leave it alone.

I recently had to buy a second copy of OOT for my N64, because somehow, despite me being close to a scholar of the industry, I was unaware that even back in the day, companies would tinker with games post-launch. It's annoying, pointless, and borderline illegal, imo.

It is definitely nowhere close to illegal, like it or not.

Depends. If something makes it onto a commercial or add, and then they remove it, you're easily teetering into legal issues. It's happened before.

Either way, I don't like it. When I buy something, it's mine. No one is changing my vacuum cleaner, toaster, couch, shoes, jackets. Gibson is not coming into my house and updating the frets on my guitar without my permission. We have allowed certain companies within the digital era to come into our homes and alter our things and it's bullshit, period. And if I buy something where that is the case, and there is literally no way for me to stop it? I will either not use the device or sell it. I just will not tolerate it.
