As a gamer any time I turn things on there always 5 or more games that want an update. Some I still play so I’m like fine update those 5 gigs of patch. Other times its “well I guess since you already are” I should have turned off auto update for you since I don’t play you anymore. When its not that its update your graphics card because whatever update for said game now required an update to latest version to not crash and have issues.
I can understand not getting to the thing you wanted to. I played this one game once had 12 patches in a single day 40 gigs or so. Like holy smokes pleas please do some internal testing before making me your beta tester.
Software these days treating everyone like they are their beta tester and always requiring something to do. Ok my rant is over. Have a wonderful night. Great what I wanted to play has a update lol.
Yeah, it's everywhere. I'm contemplating a piece on "The Narcissism of Software," because it sincerely feels like every developer on the planet seems to think that THEIR app/software is the only thing you're ever going to be using... so their processes can make as large a footprint in your system as they feel inclined to.
And I know I'm not far off because I used to hang with some of those developers when I worked in IT. Where I also learned that it's cheaper to have the end user "Beta" something than have a house crew try to break the app. However, once we ship to the user... make sure the "contact" info is buried so deep you need to be an expert spelunker to find it.
