    I mean I’m the sense that they shouldn’t be penalized, sure

    But if the exploit gets fixed, they don’t have a right to complain about that. With some exceptions. If it makes a game iconic or something, that should at least have a way to play with that.

    But crying because your game breaking glitch is patched and now you lost one way to just have easy mode is just not a valid critique to make.

      That’s a Steam issue with automatic updates. I much prefer games that distribute on their own and let you download any of the old versions you want. I’m not the type of person who plays old versions to exploit bugs in a single player game, but I don’t have any issue with people who want to do that.

        And again that’s fine, but fixing the game to fix actual technical issues or unintended mechanics isn’t a good reason to rate a game down. People always like playing with certain broken mechanics, but fixing the actual game should be call for pause, instead of neglect.

        Again, maybe with certain exceptions. Sometimes the issue can make a game iconic as hell. But usually it just makes a game easier.

        But unless it breaks the game, which nothing here seems like it’s that severe.

      I was under the assumption this game was single player only. For multiplayer games, I am not saying anything, because exploits and bugs should be fixed. Below defending part of this reply is about single player games, which does not apply to this game.

      But for single player games, if someone wants to cheat or abuse an exploit, it should be their decisions. And there is no need to shame anyone for doing so. That is like hacking a game and doing whatever you want (well its not the same off course). My point is, if it does not harm anyone, then they have the right to get upset for patching that out if it was part of what was fun to them. Off course getting upset over patching an exploit is just silly. And its even more silly to downvote a game for. But still, I can understand, because they had fun with it.
