So for the last 5 years I've been blessed with having good internet, never less then 15x5 speeds.
But we are purchasing a home with property, unfortunately the closest cable plant section is about 2 miles away, and the nearest DSL service is also as far. We are a bit out of town. I'll probably be stuck with either satellite internet or mobile broadband type services, both to my knowledge have horrible caps like around 5gb to 10gb. I've never had a cap before and am a little concerned.
I've been a PC Gamer since about 1993, and now use Steam on a regular basis, but with this cap I'm kinda screwed I think. So two questions for those who may already have had this problem, or currently do.
1. When you buy retail PC Games now that require Steam, Orign, D2D etc, after you run the disc installer, are you still required to download files through the digital client to complete the installation to play your game. I haven't purchased a PC game retail in probably 4 years.
2. As much as I'd hate the thought, am I better off going to consoles to avoid digital distribution hassles.
I've had good internet and never had to worry about this...but I can't justify paying extra money, for something that I already paid for, just because I exceeded my monthly caps. I'm not going to buy a game for $60 and then have to wait 3 months to play it either.
Thoughts? Experiences?
