I'm new to the speedrun community but I wanted to hear people's thoughts on this.
So I'm mainly an Xbox player and I've noticed both Xbox One titles and Backwards Compatible titles almost always have game updates. Majority of times there's no new in-game content so I assume these updates are mainly bug fixes. If this is the case does this mean finding minute saving out of bounds or helpful glitches are harder to find now because they can be patched out. Do some people like this change where now we have separate categories for different game patches?
Is this an actual issue for the future for speedruning or is this in line with the natural order of speedrunning where major skips aren't discovered till well after a games release and by that stage game devs have moved on and no longer update single player sections of game.
Any ways I'd love to hear people thoughts on this.
