When reviewing of game patching policies becomes a standard in game magazines, it would be the day when developers and publishers would start caring more for bugs.


I mean really, dynamics of gaming industry in last 5-6 years is so great that games have more and more bugs then ever at realse. Now, out-of-box rewiew is not enough to get proper opinion of the game. Long term support plays important role too. Bad long-tem support gives bad game.

It pretty much assumed that games will be buggy at realse, only customers don't know how long will game be supported.


I mean we have games that have up to 2 month patch
support, games with showstoper bugs that not get fixed several months after relase, bugs that break heaviliy advetized features of the game, patches that introduce new bugs which never get fixed, etc...

It's a whole jungle out there.
