It's a combination of two things that never should have been normalized: - Steam forces game updates, even for single player games. - terrible delta updates.

It's a combination of two things that never should have been normalized: - Steam forces game updates, even for single player games. - terrible delta updates. Baldurs Gate 3 had 8 patches in 3 Years. That's 800GB of updates. If a patch drops on the afternoon you planned with your friends, you're not playing that night (actually happened to us). Both decisions should have caused outcries, but I guess people would rather overpay for fast internet contracts.
