This isn't Windows Vista....
Am I being unreasonable in expecting my RPG to work right out of the box without patching?
My Vista runs awesome!
It's the only Microsoft OS I have ever had that did not require a re-install a few months after purchasing. I even gutted the worthless Vista security/nag system. All you have to do is keep it patched with the latest updates. You don't have to lift a finger. Once a month, the correct patches are automatically downloaded and installed, behind the scenes. You wouldn't even know it except that the OS automatically notifies you the next time the system is rebooted, detailing what was changed, and how to reverse it, if there is some kind of problem with the patch.
It's still fast too, even with 200+ Gb of additional installed software apps.
Oh, and, every software app that is even halfway decent and supported, gets regularly patched these days, with updates and improvements.
I'd really like to see them do that with RPGs... You know... Provide PDF updates for RPG books,
at no charge, as part of the original sale.
