Jesus Christ people…
I can almost understand most mmos when this happens, but you designed your freaking game to constantly stream gigantic amounts of data what the actual fuck?
I’m glad I didn’t buy it, but that was because of the incoming administration and their plans to allow data caps to go nutty… Can’t play a game that’s going to cost me tons of money just to play it :(
I believe it’s how they get the graphical data among other things. Instead of storing textures and stuff on your PC they steam it all in. I don’t think it’s something that can be deactivated.
