This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It doesn’t actually need 130gb of updates, that’s the fun part. They probably only made a couple gigabytes of changes at most, just their shitty folder/packing structure requires downloading every single ‘unit’ of the game again because they made minor changes

What the hell? Surely someone at their professional game development studio is capable of writing a patcher? It's not black magic.

It is extra work for them so they make more money by not having a team implementing a patching system that can handle distributing only the changes. They just don't care.
