I think it's saddening how, due to convenience, we only rely on downloads and stuff like that. I mean yeah, a dvd or blu-ray is more expensive, and you need to physically put it. But it just sort of adds to the appeal. Back in the day, installing some RTS game, going through the booklet while installing ,reading up on all the units, tips and tricks, stuff like that. tough campaigns, where it took you days to complete the later missions but it was so worth it. the worst thing was MW2; you insert the dvd (there were 2, even. iirc), and it still downloads the entire game. fucking bullshit.
also, I hate how everyone is a crybaby and you get reported for being a good player. and everyone gets a pat on the shoulder, even if they did fuck-all in the match, kind of like telling someone who flunked an exam "yeah, it was tough after all, competition is hard. you'll pass, sorry about the inconvenience."
