I remember when games used to be shipped completed and without bugs that required day one patches or patches at all. Seems that shipping out games that aren't optimized or ready to ship is so normal now that you say something like "everyone's favorite game had bugs on launch".
Because that’s where we are now. The internet made it easy to patch shit. This is how it is. We’re not going back to how it was because we’ve moved on from that. It sucks, but that’s how it is.
We can cry about how it used to be- knowing it can’t be that way again , or we can accept that things are different now and move on.
Want things the way they were? You’re you got have to remove the internet- yep…. The same internet you use to download that game and skip going to the brick-and-mortar is the same intern responsible for making patching incomplete games a thing.
Good luck.
