Perhaps you're the one who's joking.

You know that data cap is still a thing in certain countries(/areas), right? More importantly, the reviewers get the game early and review it without paying much (if any) attention to the first day patch so that they can release their review as soon as possible.

This ensures that they will play the game as intended and won't give a low score for something that they actually fixed.

Mhm...I'm one of those people that has a data cap. So? Just because they cut your speed doesn't stop you from anything. It'll just take longer. And as for the reviews....every other dev seems to get by fine with day one patches without instantly being shit on by critics (unless the game is actually shit). If they're that panicked about it they can just extend the embargo on the reviews to make sure the patch gets taken into account. This is standard stuff.

Literally the only people this benefits is people with no internet access at all.

That's actually useful to know because it may be easier to explain. When they slow down my speed, it's impossible to do a video chat on fb/skype. Sometimes when my parents are using it and I'm only speaking (no video) to a friend on fb/skype, it's so bad that there's usually a 10 second delay. It gets so bad that many of my friends find it a chore. It also makes it hard playing games. It takes forever to connect and sometimes I lose connection when others are using it and it's slown down. There are tons of other examples, but I'm sure you get what I mean.

It took me weeks to download Inquisition. Since then, I only buy small games on psn.
