Dont worry, more and more people are getting it every day. In a few years, we will all look back on the days of 10mb just like we do dial up now.

Dont be mad at game companies, be mad at shitty ISP's

its not the time, its the bandwidth it uses. since we watch a lot of streaming TV shows I don't have the bandwidth to spare for these ridiculous "updates" Put it on the disk damnit. Thats the whole point of buying a disk.

I looked into upping my bandwidth cap but the price Cox wants is just ****ing stupid. I currently get 50mbps speed with a 250gb bandwidth limit for $60. To up it to 300gb it goes up an additional 20 bucks. $40 to get to 400 gb. They don't even offer a unlimited option.

Once again, why should game development be pigeonholed because you have a shit ISP which limits the amount you can download?

ISP problem, not game development issue.

I don't want everything to be a download. I buy disks for a reason.
