The drop obvisouly happened on the release date ?
I did play it, before the official release, and it was fun, chill experience, no BP, like old times.

What happened since ? 🤔

La baisse est évidemment arrivée à la date de sortie ? J’y ai joué, avant la sortie officielle, et c’était une expérience amusante et décontractée, sans BP, comme “avant”.

Qu’est-ce qui s’est passé depuis ? 🤔

    For PC, that remained true only up to 1996 or so, some games had update patches post release, which you had to find and download from the dial-up internet. For consoles, that remained true until 2006, with Final Fantasy 11 being a notable 2002 exception. Also, judging from some rom dumps, some games did receive updates after the initial release, though you’d need to buy the newer version and not even know what the fixes were
