  For me, the 20 free minutes would be spent setting everything up for this stupid hobby of mine anyway lmfao

  I think they have improved the update system for this one. Install size is also much smaller.

    Likely both of those could be much much smaller for 2024 because it’s just streaming the data so the updates and installation size are smaller since it’s all coming in real time while playing instead of having to be installed before playing.
