Yes, unfortunately we are (several years) in the age of “everything and now”, we no longer rent VHS/DVDs, click a button and watch, we no longer go shopping (at least we do, but we don’t have to anymore), we order on Uber Eats, we no longer send letters, but emails, we don’t write checks anymore (I have colleagues who can’t even…), we don’t wait for Micromania or others to have stock to go buy disc but we’re stuck on our overpriced 4x gaming chair waiting for 5 minute DL with thread, no longer hiring handpicked people to test games for debugging, selling unfinished games plus making money instead of spending it… And if the game doesn’t work 3 seconds after release, it’s the end of the world…
The last time I picked up a Day One game, which almost never happens, I had the same problem, it wouldn’t connect, I saw people whining, I didn’t wait like crazy in front of the loading screen, I quit, start another game that worked and in 2 minutes that was good, i forgot about my “problem”. But we are in a time where everything is going too fast, we don’t have time anymore.
