[QUOTE="themperror, post: 7715945, member: 191936"] though implying downloading isn't faster than reading it off the disc? I mean a full x16 DVD drive will read with about 18Mbit's which is about 2.2 MB/s, the average download speed in my country is over 60mbit's (where most people I know have 100-200mbit connections save for the elderly at 80mbit). And then there's the OTHER problem.. DOOM 2016 is about 40-50 GB's big.. a DVD will only hold 4.7 GB, so you'd need to swap around 10 DVD's to install that game.. and about 2.2MB per second that would be about 1 DVD swap every 5 minutes, installing the game would take 50 minutes off DVD.. not counting the moment's you arent waiting infront of the PC in order to swap the DVD.. Blurays (expensive to produce = bad thing for the company selling the game) will hold a max of 50 GB's, however (also ignoring the reading speeds) few people have a bluray drive in their computer.. I don't even have a CD/DVD drive for example... Putting the downloader on the DVD is a good way to ensure lots of people can actually install the game at reasonable speeds.. [/QUOTE]
