Nothing says fun like trying to relax and play a game . Oh no you need an update to the game...Oh did I say game I mean the custom launcher...here is our ads for our other games to click through...oh you must want to go to a webpage...whoops can't connect to online even if you don't want to play online...Ok you finally connected oh but the settings have been reset because of the update...Oh wait the cloud sync didn't work...
And when you finally get the game to run, it needs to compile shaders. Then it need to download another update, from inside the game (and sometimes even restart the game.. Looking at you, MW2! ) And the user agreement have changed so you are forced to scroll to the bottom of one or more LONG legal text before you can click "Accept". And then a season intro cutscene (fortnite and CoD games does that). Then maybe a "Whats new" screen...
I remember Commodore 64 games could take up to 30 minutes to load. But at least I could just go make some food while waiting. Didn't have to sit there and press buttons.
