There is a joy to being along for the ride, plus it makes you replay titles over the long haul. Terraria always comes to mind and my nerds are running through Valheim for this exact reason (the mist lands are rough).

Digital distribution seems to have had some really negative affects both on game development, and consumerist mindset. Don’t get me wrong, it’s probably been a huge boon for indie studios, but my point remains.

Patches are also a tool to keep a game in the news cycle in more recent times.
So much comes out every single week. It’s quite a lot of noise.
