I en intervju med Hookshot berättade Tim Schafer, mannen bakom spel som Grim Fandango och Brütal Legend, att det kostar $40 000(!) att släppa en patch(!) till dagens moderna konsoler.
"You have to jump through a lot of hoops, even for important stuff like patching and supporting your game. Those are things we really want to do, but we can't do it on these systems. I mean, it costs $40,000 to put up a patch - we can't afford that! Open systems like Steam, that allow us to set our own prices, that's where it's at, and doing it completely alone like Minecraft. That's where people are going."
$40 000 är, just precis exakt nu, 267 209,60 svenska kronor. En hyfsat svindlande kostnad när man tänker på hur innehållslösa vissa patchar ändå är.
