No, you can't easily play a game "as released" with today's model. However, on the other hand, how many old games can you only play "as released" as the developer and/or publisher has gone out of business and the patches are no longer hosted?
Of the two, which is a greater impact? I know of many games with bugs, some even showstopping ones and can't think of any game that I want to play "as released" because the patch makes things worse.

Sometimes the latest rev a dev shipped before falling off the planet has game-changing behaviors, like stripping all the licensed music because you lost the license.
