You don't have to update on PC either and then you are not forced to pay for online, your point?

It works the same for physical media, you still only have a licence to play them. It's basically a meme to point this out, how are you still not aware?
>>
>>340820768
>>put CD in console
>>it plays instantly
Yeah maybe up until the 6th generation.
Nowadays every time you get a new game for a console even if it's physical you have to sit through a 2 hour update.

With PC, unless you have a shit computer from 1998 installing games off steam should take you less than half an hour unless it's an MMO or some massive RPG.
Get your shit right faggot.

Teamwork is a skill and that's why even the best Quake tourney players had trouble with CS competitions and didn't simply win entire games by themselves.
