  They can patch it before releasing it.

    That patch is supposed to stop bootlegs from getting out as easily, it contains part of the code to run the program.

  In a world without patching, they would have finished the games before shipping them if.

  There was a time that you could download patches for offline PC games. The game developers/distributors put them up on their websites. I like the idea that you could download and archive them alongside the original game files so you can still have the fixed game long after the developers have gone bust and their site has gone.
