well drinking had something to do with it, lol.

The digitalization of things seemed convenient to me until that lock out happened. I don't like to allow anyone or any corporation to have that much control over what I can do, its the same reason why I have a general distrust of banks. If they just decide one day to not let you have access to your money what are you going to do? Sue them? With a lawyer that is going to work for free because you have no money?

Those updates are pretty annoying but I suppose it is better than playing a broken game. I recall there was a game I was playing called Destiny 2 I think it was and I finished the one download, was kind of excited to play it and booted it up, the loading screen came up and told me it needed to download and update.... a 70GB update. That was just nuts to me because I had already started to DL the night before for the base game. Why not just put it all in one? It ended up being not that great of a game so that was a bunch of bandwidth wasted.
