EXP Podcast #7: Patch Notes

The first 2009 EXP Podcast is upon us. This week we were inspired by news about a patch coming out for PixelJunk Eden mid-January that will, among other things, lower the game's difficulty. The original story is in the show notes for the curious listeners, but we mostly use it as a jumping off point to discuss patches in general, the idea of an ever-changing medium and Star Wars.Some discussion starters:- Should patches be mandatory?- Is a patched game a different game?- How do we talk about a frequently updated title?- How much do you hate George Lucas for ruining Star Wars? (Only slightly kidding.)To listen to the podcast:- Subscribe to the EXP Podcast via iTunes here.
