In today's market, where even console games can be patched, it's incredibly rare to have a game- killing glitch maintain itself for very long.īugs that always happen at the same point of an Endless Game are known as Kill Screens. One should also probably keep in mind that a lot of bugs only occur in certain builds of the game. The sheer number of possible outcomes makes this type of game breaking impossible to fully prevent and even the few games lauded for their stability have an occasional hiccup for which the developers can only suggest reloading a saved game. The flaw with this approach is that it alienates a sizable chunk of gamers (in this case, gamers who live in a house without a high- speed internet connection). With the advent of integrated network play, developers also seem to favor releasing patch after patch (if they even bother) and treat their paying customers as unpaid testers. It was also The Problem with Licensed Games incarnate, since several licensed games actually may not have been as bad as many people say they were.
