"Xbox Live and the ability to download new content is not a crutch to ship crappy software. And too often on the PC--I'm going to be blunt here--in the PC gaming space, games get out that developers know have problems because they know they can patch them later. They know they can force updates. And the act of playing [games online] becomes a pain in the ass, because you put the disc in and then you gotta download the patch and you gotta download the service pack and you gotta download the security hot fix, and then you gotta apply those things and reboot your machine. That's not an entertainment experience. That is not fun." -- Jeff Henshaw, Group Program Manager - Xbox, 2010-10-06

Not sure if you are joking. Games today are mostly a disaster. Many studios release games who are not even beta worthy and have us fight with broken or missing features and later release huge updates before abandoning the games and turning off their servers. Gaming has never been so frustratingly bad and Xbox Game Pass is one example of the failure.

A few studios are luckily not yet doing this, like Rockstar and Naughty Dog etc.

Rockstar

They copped a fair bit of flack for the GTA Trilogy!

This is true, they didn’t do the conversion but it was still a bad thing of them to allow.
