- ASalazarMX 6y agoSwitch or retro? Retro was specially hard because once you shipped the cartridges/CDs, the only way to get a revised game was to buy it twice. Still, Nintendo does a pretty good job of avoiding most critical bugs before release even on the Switch.
- jjk166 6y agoSurvivor bias: the games people fondly remember and want to go back and play decades later are generally the ones with few if any problems. The buggy crap got purchased by an unlucky few and then was quickly abandoned and forgotten. It's also why classic music, books, movies, etc are great - decades of pruning leaving a short list of best-ofs.
