Call me old-school, but I've been saying this shit for years! You didn't have to wait once upon a time. Before the Internet became the behemoth it is these days, the game either worked, or you got a refund! No having to wait for months or (in some cases, years) for the game that you ALREADY PAID FOR!
It was so simple back then. You put in the disk or cartridge, and you play a fun game. Done. No micro-transactions, no day-one DLC, and no waiting for patches with the rest of the game.
