> Damn, I feel like you just described everything wrong with the game industry in the last 5-10(?) years in one sentence. Which makes sense because it's how much we've been online first. Games before that era usually worked under the assumption that an internet connection (or at least a higher bandwidth one) wasn't available. Nowadays there's barely any reason to stop development after the GM is being burned on disks. I do wonder what's gonna happen with long term use though. My game boy cartridges still work, but what will happen with current gen games? Even those bought phisically usually depend on patches from a server that won't be available in the long term future.
