You don’t have to patch a board game! Let’s all go play those instead.

well patching for consoles is still not as bad as pc Yet most are automatic and for the most part they dont make you wait long 1 2 min? altho i like the idea of patches for things like unexpected errors and such that ruin game play and im sure developer will learn there lessons once people dont buy there games cuz they rember this patching nonsence

Tribes 2 pretty much killed PC gaming for me until last month (I never did get that fucking game working. People always point to the cost of building a gaming rig but I honestly think buggy software and out of date drivers are just as big a problem. Even those in the know (Garnett Lee has talked about it on 1up yours) just get sick of the unknowns when installing a PC game.

According to Microsoft, there is no such thing as a patch. There are only updates!

Just think how silly it would seem if, back in the days of Atari, that you had to bring your cartridge game in to get it replaced with an updated one. Ah games were much simpler then – and I feel old saying that.
