World of Warcraft's 12.0.5 patch for the Midnight expansion launched amid a string of issues: lag and server disconnects, housing disabled due to a critical bug, a flawed Decor Duels mode, and a Voidforge system that duplicated items. Several class-spec bugs (Holy Paladin, Unholy Death Knight, Demonology Warlock) and a bugged final boss L'ura added to the frustration, along with a temporarily disabled Mythic+ achievement and awkward Void Ritual text. Some fixes rolled out within 48 hours, but players criticized QA and even noted regional subscription price hikes as part of the patch's fallout.

Square Enix’s Steam release of the original Final Fantasy VII has drawn mostly negative reviews from veterans, who point to speed-related desync between actions and audio after a patch, poor background upscaling, crashes on launch, and the removal of the 2013 version.
