It seems as if more and more AAA-developed games are being released with patches straight out of the starting gate. Who can we blame? The developers for not doing a good enough job of polishing their game? The publishers for pushing for a release date before the product is ready? What about the consumers, who create artificial hype at impossible-to-reach levels?
One of the more infamous examples of this issue can be found in Assassin's Creed Unity. Upon release, the game was reported to have been plagued by game-breaking bugs, glitches, and frame-rate drops due to poor optimization on the PC version. And let us not forget about the "no face" bug...
