Alex, you should check out Robodoc: the making of robocop. Gives great insight on the mess behind the scenes.

Yeah, the news about the PS5 update just solidifies my decision that the PS4 was my last true home console. I have twice in the past ten years had to live in areas where I only had a cellular connection for internet at home for a year or more. With the data caps involved I simply can’t afford a digital first console. The Switch does have some connection requirements for the first start of it’s games, but I can go to McDonalds or Starbucks to do that. Not really my console of choice, but it works the best when I am without internet for extended periods of time.
