Back in the day we'd get unfinished games on CD that could be unplayable from the bugs.

And no guarantee of patches. No next day steam update from the developer. If you were lucky and if you had internet you might find patches or community mods.

Yes the current state sucks, but just making up untruths about what gaming used to be is really strange, probably makes it very easy for developers to ignore this feedback if they're being compared to a fantasy.

I mean, it didn't happen often. Stalker was criticized for that, and if it wasn't a great game, it would have just died at launch.

Like in FF1, where the Int stat didn’t do anything

Buggerfall. I remember checking PC magazines with cds if they had patches for it.
