    It’s a much younger reality than videogames themselves, though. That’s the point. Especially for console games. Sure, patches have been a thing since even 360 days, but games outright not functioning without updates is much newer as any kind of norm.

      It’s basically a new console. Consoles that have backwards compatibility used to have updates in such case sometimes.
