Are Developers Patching Games Into Oblivion The Best gaming podcast 581 Mar 30, 2026

Patching Games Into Oblivion best gaming podcast 581|

Crimson Desert has had some amazing patches it has also patched itself into a game that feels dramatically different compared to the game many wanted when they bought it. A drastic cut to difficulty, huge swaths of changes on healing and travel, I discuss my thoughts.
