The nature of bug fixes, overall quality and DLC have changed dramatically. In the old days discovery of fixes was often who you knew and the means by which a game studio provided fixes. sometimes it was a BBS, sometimes it was AOL or Compuserve. You might not be able to win or get to the next level because of a bug and not even know it. Now the games has built in system that grabs fixes/updates right off the internet. Often automatically. Which has lead to games being in some ways poorly constructed and with the idea "we can ship another version later"
