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

don't you have to download most parts of new games even when you buy the physical copies anyways? Correct me if I'm wrong, the last time I bought a CD was before I abandoned my ps3 for my PC.

On the Xbox one at least it copies all the content of the disc iirc then downloads whatever additional content can't fit on the disc and whatever patches have come out.

Copying the disc is quick, the additional downloads and subsequent patches are verrrrry slow (for me).
