        Except it would take 3 literal months to download it (stupid home internet with a 1.25TB data cap)

          Goodness, do you live in Australia or something? Are there any better options, or can you not afford them? My spoiled and priveleged self has trouble comprehending a data cap on my internet plan.

          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.

          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.

            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
