Starcraft was doing that in the 90s including the tweaks to balance the different races. IMO it made the game better as clear imbalances got fixed over time.

- milesvp 3y agoInterestingly the balance was for multiplayer and they didn't update single player missions to accommodate the changes. I liked to replay the single player campaign periodically, and there was one base infiltration mission that became insanely difficult due to the balance changes. I'm fuzzy on the details but it was related to static defense buffs (protoss cannons if I recall), that meant the limited number of units you were stuck with for the mission couldn't reliably get past what was supposed to be a simple blockade without significantly upping your micro game.
- bonton89 3y agoStarcraft is mostly fine since the place where the changes really matter was multiplayer and those games are ephemeral. Awhile back I was playing through darkest dungeon and they did two rebalances that changed how most characters work. I had spent time leveling up characters and building teams only to have the game change out from under me. It was annoying even if the final rebalance was better since I made decisions that were based on obsolete information.
