I was just trying to jump into Atomfall on my PC, but it hit me with a surprise 17GB update, and my internet plan has a data limit. It’s really frustrating to see this, especially for a game I want to play offline. Why are updates a must for games that can be played without an internet connection?

Honestly, it’s the world we live in. In 2025, having a limited bandwidth plan can really hold you back. If you’re running on a service that throttles or charges extra for data overages, it might be time to switch to an unlimited plan. Many providers have decent offers out there! As for needing updates to play, once your game connects online, it often mandates those updates to ensure you’re running the latest version, even if you ultimately want to play offline.
That’s a valid point, but not everywhere has unlimited internet options. In some areas, like rural parts of the US, you might face hefty charges once you hit your data limit. It’s annoying, but many games require that connection for updates even if you want to play solo. Maybe check if your area has other providers that offer better deals?
