I don't ever remember that.
If it was any game from the 360 onward, there was usually a day one patch waiting for you once you got home.

Some of the latest examples are No Man's Sky, Fallout 76, Cyberpunk, GTA: Definitive Edition, Battlefield 2042.

Remember paying $60 for a game that even came with a booklet and a nice map or poster? Not anymore, unless you shell off $120 for a collector's edition.

What about paying $60 for a game that was finished from the get-go, or a game that included split screen, campaign, and multiplayer, even a demo for an upcoming game.

What about a game disk that wasn't an installation CD with a 60GB additional download for game files.

Remember waiting in line at Gamestop for the midnight release, go home, enjoy your ready to play game and miss out on work/class the next day, or look like death because of harcore gaming the night before? These days the most sensible thing to do is wait at least a month for the issues to be ironed out before you even consider buying a "new" game.

Personally I rather wait an additional amount of months to enjoy a game that is finished and polished, most likely playable, rather to get a half-assed game.

These issues won't get fixed unless customers take a stand and refuse to blindly purchase games from a recognized company just because of a so called hype. Myself, have learned a lesson, to wait at the very least, two weeks to read reviews and reactions before making any purchase on a new game.
This is how Ghost Recon breakpoint is. The game has been out for 2 years and it's just now finished IMO.

Companies are not there for the gamers, they are there for their shareholders. I suspect this is what happened to Cyberpunk when CDProjeckRed became a publicly listed company.

I've been a fan of BeQuiet fans due to being cheaper than Noctua and still extremely quiet. While I'm content on not having RGB out the wazoo, these are very tempting when I move to my ATX build in a few months.

Those are cool although I don't really care much about the illumination. My current PC has it but only as a side effect of not being able to buy parts without any longer.

As an aside, what I wish is one of these companies would branch out and make kitchen hood fans! Dang, the one in our house is loud.

My H1 has RGB from my 3070 logo and that's it. Used to have some from RAM, but we all know what happened to that.

I like a tasteful amount. My plan was to put a couple for intake on the H510 Flow I'll be getting and then the rest will be regular fans. Especially since the D15S is a chonky boi and would block any other RGB fans.

I have both.Noctua outperforms. Frequency is lower and less noticeable I think? But theyre both so much better than most. Some good competition though.

You're right, I'm just rather disappointed on how the gaming community has now just come to terms and accept that this is the way things work. In hindsight, there are some game developers that listen to their communities and make amends; No Man's Sky, which to this day, is still being constantly updated.

Its a long reach, but if Forza is on sale, I'm pulling the trigger. Maybe Resident Evil Village too. Oh! Amnesia Series too.

Don't. Just don't. It's not worth it. Now, Amnesia is totally worth it. A Machine for Pigs is eh. Also I highly suggest SOMA! Especially if you want your jimmies rustled.
