And? I guarantee you if a patch were to release for say the xbox version Call of Duty, and there was no certification process and it broke the game, every single compaliner would go straight to Xbox support looking for answers.

Thats why Sony and Microsoft have the system in place. They have a responsibility to ensure when you buy a game, it works on their console. Its nothing like PC.

Dude, whenever a game breaking patch is released, it is usually fixed within 24 hrs. Its that simple, that's how its been for PC, and with a free patch system like the PS4, I dont see why it would be any different. Whenever a dev releases a patch that breaks the game, u know what they do? They just release another patch that completely nullifies the past one aka uninstalls the patch. And then they fix whatever issues and release it again later. You think that if a patch was breaking a game, the developer wouldnt hear about it?

Orrrrr you have a certification process to prevent the game becoming broken in the first place :lol:

This is just stupid

Game breaking bugs can still make it through Q/A as the Q/A process is pretty limited. The problem with the MS system is that if a game breaking bug is found in a patch after its gone live, you have to wait for the devs to submit the fixer patch to MS to Q/A which then takes 3 months to process so you have a broken game for 3 months.

i have had to patch many 360 games on day one so i don't really think that 3 month thing is accurate.

in those cases they found the bug and got it on live after the copies went to the press.

that is more like a few days than 3 months.

if the claim is that patches are getting delayed then it is just not true.
