Thank you for remembering this. Also worth pointing out that they too ruined their launch experience for millions because of features no one really wanted that

Thank you for remembering this. Also worth pointing out that they too ruined their launch experience for millions because of features no one really wanted that were secondary to the core experience ;) (IIRC they did some sort of light simulation offloading and social / competition features in "the cloud" which made the entire game not function without an internet connection.)
