The size of the game is also stated in the requirements. Nor are the aiming at people who have low-spec machines, for example.īethesda stated the approximate download size prior to launch.

These are not the markets companies making software are aiming at, that's all. Think about people in certain areas that do not even have broadband, or even lack any Internet at all.

However, as we see, it is not enough of a concern to warrant offering the full software on disc just as so many companies no longer do. That's also why streaming services are eating cable companies for lunch.īring it up as a concern, sure, although I can pretty much guarantee that Bethesda considered it when rolling the game out. MS is only an example as most companies do this now regardless of software. Not "many of us" or you would not have companies like Microsoft rolling out a new OS as download-only, let alone products like MS Office.
OP, the majority of the markets around the world do NOT have data caps. BTW I'm no longer in that rubbish situation but if I could buy a full DVD version instead of a Steam download I damn well would. Those stuck out in more rural areas only get what they are given and pay a hell of a lot more money for way less of a service, so those people should then be penalised by buying what was advertised as a DVD purchase with no mention on the box you needed to be able to download 20GB. No point in saying "get pissed off with your service provider" if that's all they can provide you with, maybe there is no ADSL, or you have to use Mobile Broadband which is very restrictive, all Internet users cannot get the same blinding speeds and huge download usage as those in cities and other higher populated areas. Damn good point as the tooling costs to press DVD's is pretty high and a 32GB USB stick is worth hardly anything to a company Beths size, but they would still probably use the same lame excuse "Pirates" as if that's really going to stop someone out there finding ways of making illegal copies.
