I really do miss the days when most games that went to market went completely ready to play.
I don't know.. was there ever really a time when it was like that for PC games?

I remember a *lot* of PC games needing patches, especially crpgs. Although I didn't fully get into PC gaming until around 1995. Pick any crpg you can think of from back then, and look it up. I guarantee you nearly every one has at least 1 patch.
It seemed to me that console games were far less buggy back in those days compared to now.
Same memories here. Also before patches games still had bugs usually, they just never got patched.

It is really sickening that its basically expected that patches will be necessary now. I realize that games are infinitely more complex than they were 20, even 10 years, ago, but I really do miss the days when most games that went to market went completely ready to play.
Come on people, do some QA work!
Games just didn't get patched.
