    It is quite interesting how games came out in the past that never got updates. Now you install a game and the first thing it does is downloads updates for a day before you can play.

      Games are far larger and much more complex, its hard to plan for what goes wrong in production for these games.

    Hah. I remember working with accounting software in the early 90s. Legacy stuff even then. Programs and data needed to fit in 64k.

    Need to make a simple customisation? Well now you need to split one program into two. Have fun.

    As a hobbyist game dev, can confirm I am basically just splashing around cluelessly making a mess.
