The reason for this was something that kind of caught me off guard
I instantly thought "He's been drinking again"...
Otherwise you end up in a very long and un-cancellable situation like the one I am in now.
Bonus: It gives you time to write a post here 😆
I think the gaming world in general would be a better place and a better experience for all gamers if we were to make an effort to not allow the industry to fully digitize everything because once we let them do that, they can take away all ability to get things cheaper.
I totally agree. I much prefer having a disc although that's mostly because there's rarely a game that I want to own when it launches. It also means that if they decide to pull any important servers or do "an Apple" (deciding that my 5 year old console shouldn't be allowed to work any more), I'm somewhat protected.
Did you go all-in and splash out on the new PS5 Pro? One day, in many, many years time, I'll hopefully pick one up but having only just bought myself a PS4 Pro, I'll probably always be a generation behind you!
I've read a lot of stories about people buying new consoles with a game they're desperate to play (in particular with the Xbox Series) and having to wait over 24 hours before all of the software updates, game and game updates have downloaded. Even on the Xbox One, a game from a disc wants to download about 30GB of updates before you can start playing.
Long gone are the days where you stick a cartridge in, turn the system on and start playing instantly! (Although I also picked up a SEGA Mega Drive this year so not for me 😆)
well drinking had something to do with it, lol.
The digitalization of things seemed convenient to me until that lock out happened. I don't like to allow anyone or any corporation to have that much control over what I can do, its the same reason why I have a general distrust of banks. If they just decide one day to not let you have access to your money what are you going to do? Sue them? With a lawyer that is going to work for free because you have no money?
Those updates are pretty annoying but I suppose it is better than playing a broken game. I recall there was a game I was playing called Destiny 2 I think it was and I finished the one download, was kind of excited to play it and booted it up, the loading screen came up and told me it needed to download and update.... a 70GB update. That was just nuts to me because I had already started to DL the night before for the base game. Why not just put it all in one? It ended up being not that great of a game so that was a bunch of bandwidth wasted.

Those were truly the days. Our downloading time back then was reading the package and included manuals in the car on the ride home from the store.
