Isn't another option for her downloading her games?

 

If she has a data cap playing games will be a hassle anyway due to practically every game having massive day one patches and gbs of patches throughout.

She has internet but it's shit. And to work around the updates she brings a USB stick to her aunts house to download the updates with that and then put it on the game later (honestly Idk how people do this so I dont even know how to describe it). But yeah, I remember once she tried downloading a Miku Demo for the PS3 at her house and it took her internet 72hrs to finally download a fucking demo XD I remember that being hilariously sad. I'm sure you could find the size of that demo somewhere if you were interested in how small that was compared to the time it took. 

But she was mostly a person who played GC, 3DS, Wii, and Wii U games. So for updates she was ok most of the time except for the occassional Wii U game update

I think the takeaway is that we always benefit from choice, which is why I imagine it sucks so much to live far away from any major metropolitan area, at least if you care about gaming. A digital-only future is scary because we're robbed of choice, both in terms of where we buy games and what games are available.
