I believe it was Cyberpunk 2077 that started the trend of "release now fix later" games.

Hardly. That's been a thing for a while now.

I think release then fix became common as soon as internet distribution became practical

Back when everything was on physical media the releases were more polished

Yeah I agree.

Makes me wonder how many updates did Half-life 2 get? That was the first single player game I remember requiring an online connection.
