What began as a way for developers to make some last-minute fixes has now enabled them to ship half-finished products and fix them long after purchase (http://www.engadget.com/2014/11/24/broken-video-games/). It's become such a problem that even Sony's Jim Ryan agrees that the trend of massive, time-consuming patches has gotten out of hand, and is pledging that the company will "tighten up" its practices in the future.
