or with a CD that installs a downloader, that is actually a background service always starting with the OS, and a few other bloatware to not waste CD space
except that almost nobody has a CD drive anymore. so it must be a pendrive instead that was forced to read-only access
Goodness, do you live in Australia or something? Are there any better options, or can you not afford them? My spoiled and priveleged self has trouble comprehending a data cap on my internet plan.
Ah shit. That would suck. Personally I could start the download and have the game the next day. Which is roughly what it took to torrent a 4 GiB game back in the day if there weren’t enough seeds.
Can I ask what country so I can avoid it like the plague?
Ah yes, good ol’ US of A. Why am I not surprised?
My ISP recently introduced data caps on unlimited (they throttle you to 4Mbit if you go past ~300GB or 500, not sure). I already wanted to leave but that’s really lighting a fire under me to move the fuck out of here.
I wouldn’t even mind tbh.
Except it would take 3 literal months to download it (stupid home internet with a 1.25TB data cap)
And if you go to the store and buy it in person, it’ll be a empty cd case with a serial key to download.

It’s Comcastic!
United States. They have data caps because
their backbone isn’t powerful enough for 2gbps home internetthey prefer to offer more value to customersDo they also pull the “fair use” bullshit out their asses like our ISPs?
You forgot “and they’re greedy fuck pigs”
well, that’s a given

250GB tops or it will be bs.
GTA5 already had about 90-110GB of raw gamedata. I think right now it’s 150GB.
