Miles Quaritch said: Really? I didn't know this, but this does explain why certain games seem to have so many individual patches. Is there any specific reason for doing this and not putting the DLC on the store? Click to expand...

Miles Quaritch said: It's a problem because if I play a game that's a few years old on 360, it will only need to download one patch. regardless of the number of patches that have been released in the meantime, it will only download the latest patch. That's the issue, why can't Sony mandate developers do the same on PS3? Click to expand...

So that everyone has it and so that they don't need to separate the content from the patch to allow for the content like on the Xbox 360. Criterion had problems with that on Burnout Paradise.Developers don't like that because it costs extra, and the patch will still have to incorporate all content to support online play meaning it will still be huge. If you want to release multiple patches, you'll also need to devise options for people who have downloaded patch 1, but not 2 while you're on 3 which can become a problem if you like supporting your game with a lot of patches.Yes it does, it logs you out at the same time.
