I don’t see why it’s necessary for any software. I understand if companies want to release security patches and bugfixes faster. But those releases are usually accompanied by way too many unnecessary changes driven by marketing/product that a lot of people don’t give a shit about.

Chrono Chross kind of was like that… The intro wasn’t in a peaceful village or anything. But it put you in a later game area with a full party.

What made you feel utterly alone? You’re constructed by everyone else’s brain too, ya know.
