Comment on Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting?

That sounds like a good thing to me. The real problem is that when buying a game, there are no guarantees about how finished it is.

The point is that when you printed something on a disk, and had 0 capability of pushing patches down the road, you were forced to finish your product. Now it’s not the case, evidently

In theory yes, but in reality, plenty of games shipped unpolished in the physical media era.

You are completely correct
I’ve been playing a bunch of old NES and SNES games, and they all could use a few patches. Many are buggy as hell.
They were still cranking out unfinished trash back then because the cover art and box description was all we had to go by. No refunds on opened games, your money was gone and you had no hope of it ever getting better.
