This has me genuinely curious (Destiny)

With Valve's console ports, do they actually continue releasing patches, or do they offload that on a third party? The 360 version of CS:GO, for instance, does not receive the same patches or content as the Steam version.

My only reference for a game that is a console game and a PC/Steam game is Dungeon Defenders. I had it on the XBox 360 and it was HORRIBLE hearing the conversation from the dev's between how often the PC game got patches and updates and how often the console did. It also didn't help that they weren't as big as Bungie, and got shafted in the pecking order from Xbox's testers. Basically, it took at least a couple months to get a decent size patch out.

Where as the PC version got updates regularly and more content etc... Basically you had to treat them as two different games because of their unique bugs and what not.

It's been interesting playing Destiny, as it's my first experience with a console game that gets patches on a sometimes weekly basis. The game has changed pretty significantly in the 7 months it's been out; I can't recall a console game I played that's changed close to as much in it's lifetime, much less half a year.
