I remember even games, or especially games were like this. Interplay would rarely have a post launch patch or make it past 1.01 versions of a whole game. then in the late 90s or 2000ish Tribes 2 came out and basically didn't even work for over a year until patches finished the game. I think once Internet hit critical mass things shifted forever and haven't gone back.
