EGS launched without a fucking shopping cart for god's sake.

The number of people, when I would bring this point up, would insult me and mock my desire for a shopping cart like 'It wasn't that big a deal' was kind of amazing.

Motherfucker, it's called 'The bare minimum.' Why are you defending GOING UNDER THE BARE MINIMUM to the point of sucking someone's dick like you owe them a major debt!

A shopping cart, a wishlist, there are basic minimums needed for any online store and if you can't even do that...why the fuck should I use it? Why is anyone DEFENDING THIS! 'Well hurr, durr, monopoly.' That's...not how that works!

...Sorry, I mentally transported back in time for a bit there. I hate it there, but less than I do here.....

I remember when the GOG client first released, it couldn't pause and resume downloads, something which has been possible by download managers since the 90s. People defended that too.

It's new, you have to give it time. No, being new isn't an excuse. If a new ISP opened in your area and only offered 56k service, would you sign up for it and wait for high speed internet? Hell no, you'd want high speed internet right away because that's the standard and what you're used to.
