Guerrilla Games has released a new patch for Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition, which is great news for a game that’s been heavily criticized over the past week for having serious technical issues.

Executives will argue is really ' the only way' to keep updating these old games that would otherwise be abandoned, never be updated, and perhaps even lose their activation rights sooner than they would otherwise.
People will pay it by the millions. Guaranteed.

Not sure which is worse about modern day games - the DLC/Season Pass content that continually milks your wallet, or the completely incomplete launches that seem to have massive Day 0 patches and can take weeks/months to actually get running right.
