If a game depends on future changes to be fun, it's not fun until those future change actually occur.

I have to disagree with this. I'm definitely going to have fun with a game with a known bug that's going to be fixed in a week. It can even be a crashing bug, or making some mechanics unavailable. I'm just going to avoid that area, because the game is still evolving.

The same bug that's never going to be fixed makes the game not fun at all for me.

That sounds to me like you're avoiding parts of the game because they're not fun, regardless of the chance of them being fixed in the future.

I love when people use the word "fun" without knowing what "FUN" means in the context of Dwarf Fortress.

For context, I think it's a shame Carp don't gain the Swimming skill anymore. Or teeth, apparently, if the wiki is to be believed.
