This is just a little rant, maybe you feel the same?
I remember gaming when younger on the Megadrive and SNES, you would insert cartidge, turn on, click start and within a few seconds you were playing.
Now, we have to:
i) load up Steam, Origin or whatever, wait for that to load, sometimes update usually a few minutes.
ii) load game (another few minutes even on SSD), perhaps another update is required.
iii) navigate your way through convoluted game menus to try and and actually start the game.
iv) try finding the needle in a haystack, the quit button in the menu when you want to finish playing.
And then you have random things like origin launching on one monitor, but wanting to play the game on another.
I was hoping to play some Battlefield 4, but after 10 minutes messing around I gave up and wrote this instead.
