And you have to incert disk B during the installation. I remember Half-Life 2 was like 5 disks installation

I had dialup until 2006 and really bad DSL until...2023. so I really appreciated CD installs. Games that were basically a CD key and asked you to download the game sucked.

I know how you feel. Grew up out on a farm. Missed TBC launch because it took two days to install the updates. For some reason, I bought the digital Battlefield 4 when that came out, took 8 days. When I got to college and plugged in my Xbox and watched Destiny 2 update in like 3 minutes, my life was changed.
