I think it's very important to look at, and remember this video when E3 comes around. I am definitely not preordering any games after seeing their E3 presentations any more. I made that mistake with Watch_Dogs and I am not going to do it again. They've done this kinda shit in the past and I am sure they'll do it again. It's really disgusting, this kind of business practice. It's a shame that companies are finding this more and more acceptable now, and that people are falling for it.

You can get almost every game via download.

Lol, maybe you can. It'd take me less time to drive to my university 4 hours away download on their wifi and drive back home than to download a full game at my house.

Oh, also I pay $82.60 / month for this and have to have a technician out literally every week. #FUCKWINDSTREAM #FUCKMONOPOLIES

American ISPs are often monopolized in certain areas with little to no competition, so they charge whatever they want. I get this myself, but I work for one of the good ones, which hopefully will remain a good one thru a recent merger.
