From the article: "Evidence of that dichotomy is not hard to find. As automakers have introduced vehicles with more advanced computing and electrical architectures, they have also struggled to deliver bug-free software on time." This was something that really hit me when the Internet allowed game developers to ship a game that wasn't done. You got the game, and the first thing you did was download a "patch" that was at least as big as the CD the game came on (several hundred MB). I've got "released" Windows98 games on CD that are essentially unplayable because what was shipped on the CD was unplayable and without the update server on the network sending out those critical fixes, its never gonna work. For game archivists that means finding a fully patched install and then preserving that. This is a shitty experience that serves manufacturers but not their customers. I don't expect it to get better any time soon but I wish it would.
