Because its a waste of time ? :D

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that GGG does not have a person solely dedicated to making their game downloader/installer.

I don't know about you guys, but i personally hate having to patch a new game. It can lead to all sorts of pain in the butt issues. You download the main game then you need more patches then those freeze and get corrupted.

I like the idea of getting one file and then playing it right there. There of course will be patches, but right when it's released it's kind of a pain and can lead to more problem then its worth to fix it right then and there.

I think i have had 1 patching issue ever

i dont have amazing internet speeds but i can download most games within an hour or 2. i really dislike these streaming clients as they end up spiking your ping

patching takes seconds if its done correctly and as the file size is not going to be huge you just wont need that option, if they are concerned with this id go down the route of being able to download the acts separately. its not like your going to be playing act 2 within your 1st log in

id hope not anyway ;-)

Well they said it took about 2 hours, but only if you know what your doing. Plus that was one of the developers considering they had to place all the enemies there in the first place i would say most people would take a little bit longer.

I always like to take my time through the game first. For me the first play through is more about the world and the story, learning the mechanics, and getting to know the characters. Then in the second start to buckle down and get serious.

This is erroneous. The implementation is what could cause this, not the technique itself.

I think the main thing is that people go with the devil they know. Some people prefer big files and some prefer torrents each have uses and drawbacks.

For me it is not really important what the method of distribution is, as long as I get to download at maximum speed. I like that Guild Wars just downloads part of the game while you play.

Given everything else equal though, everyone prefers to be able to play in 5 minutes as opposed to 2 hours.

Well not everyone sounds weird some people just want one big file and then to be done. Applying your own preferences doesn't fit everyone. For games i always have preferred this and i have used both.

I think of it like sex, I don't care how I get it. So long as a I do.
