killamch89 Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 With more and more games releasing with significant “day-one” patches, it seems like developers are increasingly relying on post-launch fixes rather than fully polished products. While some patches improve gameplay, others raise concerns about rushed releases. Do you think this trend is a necessary part of modern game development, or does it show a lack of proper quality assurance? How do you feel about games that rely on day-one patches to be “complete”?

Scorpion Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 It’s concerning! Day-one patches suggest rushed development. Games should be polished at launch. Quality assurance is essential for player trust. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shagger Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Day 1 patches I'm OK with. Some bugs are only detectable right before launch. Besides, it's better that a gaming coming out broken. It paid content on day one that bothers me. If content is completed for a game's launch, it should not be charged as an extra. Sadly, the industry has chipped away at people's tolerance for these absurd business practices. Every game has Day 1 DLC or pre-order bonuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
