    That would mean they would “waste” time working on the game after it was gold. It’s not a popular move these days when you can release a half finished game and update it. I don’t think selling patches would be a good idea, it would be an anti incentive to produce large well made patches.

      No sorry, I mean the shop itself. They could sell bandwidth and time; so if you don’t have a good net connection or just want to play the game without hours of downloading. So they could sell the most up to date version of the game so it can just be played without the customer doing further updates. Or if there is a big update, whey could spend a few £ to get it quick and on a card instead of waiting the hours it may take to download
