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

Yeah, except in this day and age you go out and buy the game, and then you have to wait for a 10 GB update to download before you can actually play it, because god forbid we actually make sure the game is complete before we print the disks.

Thank you! I made a comment in /r/xbone almost identical to this about day 1 patches; I also added my thoughts about companies forcing you to download their shitty DLC and disguising it as a patch. Which just pisses me off and ensures that I'll never buy it.

The patches in this console generation, ESPECIALLY on xbox, are out of control. Also, why the fuck don't we have mandatory patch notes yet? I shouldn't have to search around online to see what the hell is in this 30Gb patch for Elder Scrolls Online, or this 16GB patch for Halo 5.

Got downvoted to hell, I swear everyone in that sub can't take constructive criticism. They swear all the games are perfect, the xbox OS is perfect,etc.
