or with a CD that installs a downloader, that is actually a background service always starting with the OS, and a few other bloatware to not waste CD space
except that almost nobody has a CD drive anymore. so it must be a pendrive instead that was forced to read-only access
Can I ask what country so I can avoid it like the plague?
Ah yes, good ol’ US of A. Why am I not surprised?
My ISP recently introduced data caps on unlimited (they throttle you to 4Mbit if you go past ~300GB or 500, not sure). I already wanted to leave but that’s really lighting a fire under me to move the fuck out of here.
? I’ve never had a data cap and I’m in the US. Many areas now have alternatives to cable/DSL. I have fiber-backed Ethernet at the wall, and my city is rolling out muni-fiber, and we’re honestly kind of late to the game compared to my local area.
Ah shit. That would suck. Personally I could start the download and have the game the next day. Which is roughly what it took to torrent a 4 GiB game back in the day if there weren’t enough seeds.
I wouldn’t even mind tbh.
Except it would take 3 literal months to download it (stupid home internet with a 1.25TB data cap)
And if you go to the store and buy it in person, it’ll be a empty cd case with a serial key to download.

Shop around, maybe you have more options now.

250GB tops or it will be bs.
GTA5 already had about 90-110GB of raw gamedata. I think right now it’s 150GB.
