A 10gb patch... I download all my games anyway, but come on.. If you bought a physical game you should be able to play it without downloading gigs... When the xbox one was introduced we forced Microsoft to ditch checking in with the mothership every 24 hours.. This is even worse.

Didn't Forza 7 have a 50gb day one patch? Is it playable without it?

I think people are blowing this out of proportion because it's Call of Duty, there's been plenty of times to criticise this in the past. Pretty much every physical PC game released in the past 5 years.

They've put "Require Internet" on the case so any talk of a lawsuit is silly.

Ehh no, I simple dont buy or play the game. If i wanted to play an MMO i would simple do that and even for free. There is happning too much change recently in what people call ''AAA'' games. 

Currently, I'm downloading a game from Steam called Riven. With my internet, it takes a bit over half an hour to download. Not too bad, except the game was released in 1997. It would take hours for me to download this patch. And I live in the middle of a built up community, so it's not as if internet is a rare commodity.

9.5 GB for a single update? And requiring it offline to boot?

Activision's sliminess continues.

Well that answers that.

NEXT!

I have seen wii games and I think PS3 games require a system level patch (as opposed to a game patch) before they would let you play, but they included it on the disc...  Not exactly the same as it didn't require the internet for the patch.

Certainly legal... buyer be ware...  (that said, some states have protection policies where you should at least be able to get your money back)

Not surprising considering how common day 1 patches are on the One and PS4. My issue with this is, what if you don't have the internet?

We went over this years ago.

People without internet buy a 360. Gamestop has plenty.

Fine, and  tripple a western  game i can pass on so i can play all those japanse  ones that  do work.
