Ahead of the city builder's release on October 24, the devs want to "manage expectations on performance."

Episode 6: Dimension of the Machine was released in 2021. Quake was released in 1996, making it 25 years.

I have a feeling there's probably some obscure-ass Nethack clone that's been getting regular updates since the creator first programmed it on a PDP/11 but outside of that I can't think of any actual commercial products that have received expansions that long after.

Sigil doesn't count, but it should.

Yeah, guess, Doom and Quake are the earliest non-arcade games that are still accessible to current generations of players making it somehow relevant. I feel like only Sega could do something, like releasing one of their classics updated with some new content, but it won't be the same as original cartridge releases and obviously incompatible with them.
