I’m also put off by the fact you can’t just turn on and play a game, you need to download a 5gb game update, platform updates and are spammed with notifications

I’m also put off by the fact you can’t just turn on and play a game, you need to download a 5gb game update, platform updates and are spammed with notifications, especially if you don’t play for a few weeks.
- imustbeevil 8y agoPeople bring this up a lot, but forget that the alternative was the game gets released with bugs that never get fixed.
- wu-ikkyu 8y agoMaybe another alternative could be a game in which developers are given more time and resources to develop and test instead of shortstaffing, overworking, and rushing to market? More of a waterfall than an agile approach perhaps
- sbr464 8y agoI agree, and it’s nice to have new content/fixes, it just creates anxiety/frustration and leads to not turning it on, which defeats the purpose of having it. Circular rant, first world problem I know
- dTal 8y agoThe alternative is the user is given the choice to update, not forced to. This was normal for PC games a decade ago, you'd go online and download a patch. At least with the games I played, bugfix and even small feature updates were usually free.
