Consoles are easier. I just want to open the box, plug it in, and play.

Just need to download new firmware for a few hours. Load the game you wanna play, then download that update. And then download the new season.

That isn't unique to consoles. I have plenty of games on PC that tell me I need to install some third-party launcher and then update the game when I try to open it.

Lol, you never have to update drivers? Updating console firmware is rare, easy, and doesn't take a few hours.

Season downloads apply to PC as well. They get auto updated anyways so it isn't a factor for either case.

Sure, but that all happens automatically, and will simply work when it's done. It won't come up with some bs conflicting error with some other program I don't even know about on my computer.
