That’s a totally valid point. I absolutely hate updates in general. It’s one of those double edged swords. I’ve been trying to get used to the idea, as to not lose my mind in the modern world. Not easy

That said, I like the idea of (sort of) the way some software companies offer standalone versions alongside their subscription plans. If you don’t want updates just buy the full software (or pirate it of course).

And I have to say, I’m an absolute fan of free to play games - even if I don’t necessarily play many. I just think we need to teach people, parents specifically, about how microtransactions work and can add up.
