Summary: <br> <a href="https://www.spacegamejunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/patch-147001_960_720.png"></a>Patches are SO Important…<br> <br> <br> <br> Welcome to this week’s podcast, my friends! This week, <a href="https://www.alienpickle.com/">Jim</a>, <a href="https://www.cosmictrio.com/">Spaz</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/The_Tablefortwo">Hunter</a> (welcome back!) and I talk about post-release support in games. This was inspired by the recent — and amazing — 2.0 patch for Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr, which made it into almost an entirely new game. We talk about games that get amazing support, games that get turned around thanks to their tireless developers, and much more.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Next week, we’re gonna talk about the gamepad. I’ve noticed an odd resistance to it of late, and I wanna talk about that, plus its evolition as this era’s joystick.
