Seeings as how all the previous versions of FALLOUT Games were PC games, with no link to anyone else's computer, not even in a LAN set up to play against each other in teams on local computers, and did not require any online account.

I live in one of those "pockets" in Canada, and it really sucks. Old copper phone lines that can't handle DSL, so over-the-air internet off of cell towers is the only option and bandwidth is horribly expensive... $10/GB. So a big 20GB game like Dragon Age Origins that can be purchased on GOG for pittance will cost $200 to download. Don't want to play it quite THAT badly, so it'll sit in my library until I can download it from somewhere else. :)GOG is great in this sort of situation though, as you can download a game once, put it safely away on DVD, and then never have to download it ever again. As far as I'm aware, it's the only digital marketplace that's even remotely friendly to people like us. :) Quote Pagafyr wrote: And the electricity debt adds another few sparks to the cost because the computer has to be on 24/7 to download the digital content. MASS EFFECT: Andromeda is 59.9 GB. It will take 10 days to download if the Wireless Tower doesn't get so bogged down with customers when our download speeds are a maximum of 90.0 Kilobytes per second is the same as 720.0 Kilobits per second. That speed is a little better then the phone line modem I had that used to get; which in my case was 56.6 KiloBytes per second is the same as 452.8 Kilobits per second.Unless the service is providing a constant steady flow speed at least 1.5 Mb per second the famous CRC software can make the downloading of Data increase as much as 10 fold on occasions. I downloaded a 2.6 GB patch. For the first 0.6 GB it was fine, but the server does a CRC after 0.5 GB or 0.6 GB to test the contents clean or now. Because the line was down 40.0 KiloBytes (320.0 Kilobits) it lost the CRC test stream and restarted the download 10 times from the beginning.Sorry man. I live in the Caribbean and we only have those sorts of prices and limits on mobile data. Our cable internet network (glass or copper) is much faster and cheaper than that.

Our cable internet network (glass or copper) is much faster and cheaper than that.@Sexyowl Thanks to you I remembered; If all I wanted was a bunch of old CD/DVD games to add to a collection, or because I miss sharing my love with my favorite game, whose disk I wore out putting it in and pulling out of the tray so many times, because it had to be in the machine's CD/DVD player all the time, I would just go to the Salvation Army, St. Vincent De Paul, or Habitat for Humanity where they sell Reusable stuff all the time.All three of those stores and some shop owners with a mind to sell their antiquated stuff are within walking distance. I could find tons of CD/DVD games for 10 cents that GOG is providing.Hey! I just realized I don't have to swim or boat to get anywhere. At least not until Global warming floods the flatlands near the plateau's where everyone will boat to if the water returns to the area that hasn't been here for MILLIONs of Years. Am Not laughing.
